Battery Charging

WARNING! Using a non-recommended extension cord could result in fire, heat damage or charger failure, which could result in serious injury or death. Always use the recommended type of cord to charge the batteries.

Tip: Do not use a ground fault interrupt (GFI) type cord on a GFCI-protected outlet.

WARNING! Charging from a circuit of lesser capacity and/or using a cord from the outlet to the vehicle that is not sufficient in wire gauge could create a fire hazard.

WARNING! Failure to provide adequate ventilation while charging batteries can result in an explosion. Hydrogen gas is emitted during charging and will rise and accumulate at the ceiling. Always ensure a minimum of five (5) air changes per hour in the charging area. Never charge the batteries in an area subject to a flame or spark, including areas containing gas or propane water heaters and furnaces. Do not smoke in the charging area.
