Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances

CAUTION: Equipment damage

Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage charging output.

Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged if connected to the Freedom 10 Inverter/Charger. Do not use the following with the Freedom 10 Inverter/Charger:

•Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.

•Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.

Important: if you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with the Freedom 10 Inverter/Charger, contact the equipment manufacturer to find out if there are high voltages at the battery terminals or if the appliance incorporates the use of transformers.
