Batteries and charging

General

The external charger (Fig. 26) has been designed to charge two

12 volt Sonnenschien Dryfit Gel type batteries.

Safety features

The chargers have features which prevent hazards or accidents occurring as a result of connecting batteries the wrong way round, overheating caused by fault conditions, or attempting to charge wrong voltage batteries.

The majority of charger sizes are electrically double insulated and no earth connection is required. Some larger sizes may be electrically earthed and this will be clearly stated on the label.

The 3 pin UK mains input plug contains a replaceable fuse. The rating of this fuse is shown on the charger label. Always replace with the same type and size of fuse as specified. Fitting of different fuses can result in damage to the charger or failure of the charger to operate properly.

If your charger has been specified for use in Continental Europe it will contain a European two pin plug which does not have a fuse. In this case the fuse is located in the fascia panel of the charger.
