TROUBLESHOOTING
• Very cold battery
If the battery to be charged is extremely cold (in temperature less than freezing (0°C/32°F)
it cannot accept a high rate of charge, so the initial charge rate will be slow. The rate of
charge will increase as the battery warms.
WARNING: Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery.
• Sulphated battery
When batteries are left in a discharged state for a long period of time,They become
'Sulphated'. Sulphated batteries cannot accept a high rate of charge since the internal
plates are coated with lead sulphate. To see if a battery in this condition can be 'saved',
take it to a service station or battery distributer for professional evaluation and /or service.
• Short circuited battery
If your car battery has been short circuited, have it checked by a battery distributer before
attempting to recharge it.
Plug fitting
Note: If a moulded plug is fitted and has to be removed take great care in disposing of the
plug and severed cable, it must be destroyed to prevent engaging into a socket. If the supply
cord is damaged it must be replaced by a qualified person in order to avoid hazard. If you
should need to fit a new plug follow the instruction below. If in doubt consult a qualified
electrician.
