Caution: Always disconnect the negative terminal first when removing the battery and always
connect the positive terminal first when fitting the battery. When connecting the battery leads make
sure not to reverse the polarity. Quick charging will reduce battery life. Disconnect the terminals
prior to charging the battery to avoid damage to the circuit and electrical instruments.

Battery Disconnect

The function of the battery disconnection switch is to disconnect the supply voltage from the
electrical system by interrupting the connection to the battery. The main advantages of this solution
are:
1. Protection of the electrical system from short circuits
2. Reducing battery self-discharge, especially when the machine is shut down for long time
3. Allows maintenance and repair work in safe conditions
