* If the input rating of a battery charger is given in
watts rather than in amperes, the corresponding
ampere rating is to be determined by dividing
the wattage rating by the voltage rating–for
example:
1,250 watts
125 volts
8. Do not operate battery charger with damaged
cord or plug-replace them immediately.
9. Do not operate battery charger if it has received
