Installing Batteries

Installing Batteries

Replacing old or defective batteries (even installing new batteries) requires that you disconnect all AC and DC sources prior to installation.

WARNING

Battery installation should always be treated like a brand new installation. This means, that all safety and precautionary guidelines that were followed prior and during the installation of the charger, must again be followed in order to avoid risks of electrical shock, injury, or death.

To replace an old battery:

1.Turn off the AC source by disconnecting the AC line and/or opening the AC source disconnect.

2.Switch off all devices operating from currently installed batteries.

3.Disconnect the battery cables from the old battery. NOTE: For Negative chassis systems, disconnect the negative cable first, then the positive cable.

For Positive chassis systems, disconnect the positive cable first, then the negative cable.

Inspect all AC and DC cables for damage and repair, if necessary.

4.Replace the old battery with the new battery.

5.Reconnect the battery cables to the new battery. NOTE: For Negative chassis systems, reconnect the positive cable first, then the negative cable.

For Positive chassis systems, reconnect the negative cable first, then the positive cable.

Important: If the new battery is different from the old one in chemistry, temperature, or size, remember to re-configure the battery settings accordingly.
