Maintenance and care
A minimal amount of care can keep your battery charger working properly for years.
1.Clean the clamps each time you are finished charging. Wipe off any battery fluid that may have come in contact with the clamps to prevent corrosion.
2.Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing the charger. The cords can be wrapped around the handle of the charger. This will help prevent accidental damage to the cords and charger.
3.Occasional cleaning of the case with a soft cloth will keep the finish shiny and help prevent corro- sion.
