formation caused by electrostatic discharge
when charging the battery.
CAUTION! Explosive gases – avoid flames and
sparks

before you connect or disconnect the battery.
The charger contains components such as the
switch and fuse which may generate arcs and
sparks. It is essential to ensure that there is good
ventilation in the garage or room.
The charger is only suitable for 12 V lead
batteries.
Do not charge any "non-rechargeable batteries"
or defective batteries.
