12. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

A minimal amount of care can
keep your battery charger working
properly for years.
• 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.
• Occasionally cleaning the case
of the charger with a soft cloth
will keep the finish shiny and help
prevent corrosion.
