16.BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS

16.1When a charging problem arises, make certain that the battery is capable of accepting a normal charge. Double check all connections, AC outlet for the correct voltage, charger clips for correct polarity and the quality of the connections from the cables to the clips and from the clips to the battery system. The clips must be clean.

16.2When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulfated, it will not draw the full rated amperes from the charger. It is both dangerous and damaging to a battery to force higher amperage into it than it can effectively use in recharging.

16.3When an UNKNOWN OPERATING PROBLEM arises, please read the complete manual and call the customer service number for information that will usually eliminate the need for return.
