Using The Generator To Charge Automotive Batteries - Energizer EZG1300 User Manual

4.3 Using the EZG1300 to Charge Automotive Batteries
You can use 12V 8.3A DC output to charge automotive batteries. Be sure to monitor
the battery charge time. Over-charge may cause explosion and injury.
An explosive hydrogen gas is discharged through vent holes in the battery during
charging. Do not allow sparks or open flames around the generator or battery
during the charging process.
Electrolyte fluid can burn eyes and clothing. Be extremely careful to avoid any
contact. If injured, wash the affected area immediately with large amounts of water
and seek medical attention immediately.
When charging a large capacity battery or totally discharged battery, excessive
current may force the DC breaker to turn off. In this case, use a battery charger.
1. Connect the positive (red) terminal of the battery to
the red (positive) terminal, the 12V 8.3A DC Output
Terminal on the front panel of your generator.
2. Connect the negative (black) terminal of the battery
to the black (negative) terminal, the 12V 8.3A DC
output terminal on the front panel of your generator.
DO NOT REVERSE THE POLARITY OF THESE
CONNECTIONS.
