15.
15.1 When a charging problem arises, make certain that the battery is capable of accepting a normal charge. Be sure to double check all connec-
tions, AC outlet for power, charger clips or ring terminals are clean and for proper polarity.
15.2 Check the fuse holder on the ring terminal cable attachment. In the rare occurance the fuse blows, replace the fuse with the same type (ATO/
ATC style) and same amerage marked on the top of the fuse before returning.
15.3 When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulfated, it will not draw the full rated amperes from the charger. It is both dangerous and
damaging to a battery to force higher amperage into it than it can effectively use.
