CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE

Explosive mixtures of Hydrogen gas are
present within battery cells at all times. Do
not work with or charge battery in an area
where open flames (including gas furnace
or water heater pilots), sparks, cigarettes,
or any other sources of combustion are
present. Always provide ample ventilation
in rooms where batteries are being
charged. Failure to do so may result in
severe bodily injury and/or property
damage.

New Battery Break in

New batteries require a break in period of up to 40-cycles.
The batteries will not have their full capacity during this
break in period and may require longer charging times.
Signet ® Charger Operation
The Signet HB-600 and
®
HB-1000 chargers use a
semi-automatic charging
system. The charger will turn
itself ON when the AC power
cord is connected to the AC
power source and turn itself
OFF when the batteries are
fully charged. Refer to the data plate on the charger for
the voltage and type power required for the charger.
There is a series of LED's on the faceplate of the charger
that serve two functions:
1. Status of charge. The LED's will display an
approximate percent of charge during the charging
cycle. Refer to the table below.
2. Error condition. All three
LED's flashing is an
indication of a charging
problem (charger will also
be beeping). Refer to the
Charger Troubleshooting
section for information on
error codes.
