IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for
Read these instructions completely before using the Battery Charger and save them for future
reference. Before using the Battery Charger to charge a battery, read these instructions and the
instruction manual/safety information provided by the car, truck, boat or equipment manufacturer.
Following all manufacturers' instructions and safety procedures will reduce the risk of accident.
Working around lead-acid batteries may be dangerous. Lead-acid batteries release explosive gases
during normal operation, charging and jump starting. Carefully read and follow these instructions for
safe use. Always follow the specific instructions in this manual and on the Battery Charger each time
you use the Battery Charger.
All lead-acid batteries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently explode in the
presence of fire or sparks. Do not smoke, use matches or a cigarette lighter while near
batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl clothing because static electricity sparks are
generated when vinyl clothing is rubbed. Review all cautionary material on the Battery Charger and
in the engine compartment.
This battery charger is equipped with a setting for charging a specific type of lithium battery
chemistry, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4). The charger's lithium charging function is optimized
for this type of lithium battery only, as noted on the control panel. There exist many different lithium
battery types, each using a different specific lithium battery chemistry. Do not charge any other
lithium battery types using this charger – doing so could result in personal injury and/or property
damage.
Always wear eye protection, appropriate protective clothing and other safety equipment when
working near lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working on or around lead-acid batteries.
Always store clamps away from each other or common conductors. Improper storage of clamps may
cause the clamps to come in contact with each other, or a common conductor, which would be
hazardous if the Battery Charger was plugged into an AC outlet.
Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment, because moving parts may cause
severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions published in the vehicle's Owner's Manual.
Batteries being charged with the Battery Charger unit likely contain liquid acids which are hazardous
if spilled.
WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
