Setup; Charging A Battery - VOLTCRAFT VC-AL450 Mode D'emploi

• Mark the position of the two screws through the holes in the mounting brackets. Drill the holes. Depending on the
surface, suitable screws and/or dowels may be required. Screws for wood and dowels in walls are not included
and must be purchased separately.

the screws). Use a suitable screwdriver to tighten the screws.

9. Setup

The charger heats up during use. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation. Do not cover the housing!
Never charge lead batteries in a closed container.
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation during the charging process and avoid naked flames!
Explosive gases may be generated during the charging process. Keep the charger out of the reach of
children!
Before charging batteries with liquid acid, open the sealing plugs on each cell.
Leave the battery casing to ventilate for approx. 2 minutes to allow explosive gases to evaporate!
Check the liquid level and top up if necessary.
Check the liquid level on a regular basis during longer charging periods (overwintering). Wear safety
goggles when inspecting the batteries!
Do not turn lead-acid batteries upside down. Avoid any contact with the battery liquid, as it may cause
severe chemical burns.
Rinse the contact points (skin, clothes, etc.) immediately with water to dilute the battery acid.
Contact a doctor immediately in case of contact with skin.
In case of prolonged storage, charge lead-acid batteries every 3 months to prevent them from draining.
Never short-circuit the battery contacts.
When connecting batteries, ensure that they are connected in the correct polarity and observe the charg-
ing instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
a) Charging a battery
• Ensure that your battery is compatible with the charger. The battery must be a 6 V/12 V lead-acid, lead-fleece or
gel battery or a 12 V lithium battery. Refer to the specifications in the "Technical data" section.
Do not use the charger to charge batteries with other operating voltages!
• Connect the appropriate adapter cable (15 or 16) to the charging cable. The plugs can only be connected in the
correct polarity. Check that the cables are connected properly. The locking mechanism should click into place.
