the charger to the power supply to operate it. This may take several hours!
Notes on rechargeable batteries
• This product is only suitable for charging 12 V lead-acid batteries. Never use it to charge
different rechargeable batteries (e.g. NiCd, NiMH, LiPo) or even normal batteries! There
is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Make sure you observe all safety instructions and charging instructions of the battery
manufacturer. If the battery is fillable, observe the instructions provided by the battery
manufacturer.
• For safety reasons, wear suitable protective clothes and protective glasses when
handling lead-acid batteries.
• Depending on the battery's mounting position, you might have to remove the battery
before charging it.
• Before connecting the battery to the battery charger, disconnect the battery from any
loads or cables (turn off the loads first!). Always disconnect the ground connection from
the battery before disconnecting the positive terminal.
Disconnect the battery from the battery charger before connecting any loads to the
battery.
When connecting or disconnecting the battery, sparks might be produced. Therefore,
make sure there is sufficient ventilation!
• Observe the polarity when connecting the battery to the battery charger (red charger
terminal = positive/+, black charger terminal = negative/-).
• Never charge batteries with an internal short-circuit.
• Never charge frozen batteries. If the electrolyte is frozen, allow the battery to thaw
completely in a warm room before charging it. This may take several hours, depending
on the battery.
• Lead-acid batteries contain aggressive and corrosive acids. Avoid skin or eye contact
with battery fluids! Never dismantle lead-acid batteries! On skin contact, clean the
affected areas thoroughly with water and soap. On eye contact, rinse the effected eye
immediately with clear and cold running water! Then consult a doctor immediately!
If your clothes have come into contact with acid, wash your clothes immediately with a
lot of water and soap!
