11.12 Common battery statements

Over the years, battery technology has moved forward
but, unfortunately, some of the advice given on battery
care has not. This has resulted in a number of confused
and at times contradictory instructions on the 'best' way to
care for your batteries.
This section will help to dispel some of these myths and
legends.
WARNINGS!
• To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and
cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger.
• Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary.
• Use of an improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire and electric shock.
• If any extension cord must be used, make sure the
pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of the plug on the
charger; and that the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition.
• Do not rest a battery on top of the charger.
• Do not stand the charger on a carpet or other soft
surface. Always place it on a hard flat surface.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to a qualified technician.
• Do not disassemble charger; only have it repaired by
the manufacturers. Incorrect re-assembly may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug
the charger from the outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off the controls will
not reduce the risk.

WARNINGS!
• Never place the charger directly above the battery
being charg ed; gases from the battery will corrode
and damage the charger.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity
of battery or charger.
• Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a
metal tool onto the battery. It could spark or short
circuit the battery or other electrical parts that may
cause an explosion. Also take off all personal metal
effects and dangling objects when working on the
battery.
• Never charge a frozen battery. A fully charged battery
will rarely freeze but the electrolyte of a discharged
battery can freeze
at -9° Centigrade. Any battery that is suspected of
being frozen should be thawed completely before
charging.
• Never sit with the charger on your lap when charging
your batteries.
• The charger casing will get hot during its normal
operation.

11.13 Battery warranty

Battery warranties are subject to periods set by the
manufacturers. However, most of these warranties are
subject to a wear and tear clause, and if you genuinely
wear out your batteries in 6 months, it will not be possible
to obtain a replacement under warranty.
