Installing Batteries
Replacing old or defective batteries (even installing new
batteries) requires that you disconnect all AC and DC sources
prior to installation.
To replace an old battery:
1. Turn off the AC source by disconnecting the AC line
and/or opening the AC source disconnect.
2. Switch off all devices operating from currently installed
batteries.
3. Disconnect the battery cables from the old battery.
NOTE: For Negative chassis systems, disconnect the
negative cable first, then the positive cable.
For Positive chassis systems, disconnect the positive
cable first, then the negative cable.
Inspect all AC and DC cables for damage and repair, if
necessary.
4. Replace the old battery with the new battery.
5. Reconnect the battery cables to the new battery.
NOTE: For Negative chassis systems, reconnect the
positive cable first, then the negative cable.
For Positive chassis systems, reconnect the negative
cable first, then the positive cable.
WARNING
Battery installation should always be treated like a brand new
installation. This means, that all safety and precautionary
guidelines that were followed prior and during the installation of
the charger, must again be followed in order to avoid risks of
electrical shock, injury, or death.
Important:
If the new battery is different from the old one in
chemistry, temperature, or size, remember to re-configure the
battery settings accordingly.
