Precautions When Preparing to Charge

EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS AND GASES HAZARD

•Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.

•Make sure the voltage of the batteries matches the output voltage of the inverter/charger.

•Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes and skin when cleaning battery terminals.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

NOTES:

•Study and follow all of the battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, whether equalization is acceptable for your battery, and recommended rates of charge.

•For flooded non-sealed batteries, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches the level specified by the battery manufacturer. This helps to purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's instructions.
