Precautions When Preparing to
Charge
EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS AND GASES HAZARD
• Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
• Make sure the voltage of the batteries matches the output voltage of the
inverter/charger.
• Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes and skin
when cleaning battery terminals.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
injury.
NOTES:
Study and follow all of the battery manufacturer's specific precautions,
n
such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, whether
equalization is acceptable for your battery, and recommended rates of
charge.
For flooded non-sealed batteries, add distilled water in each cell until
n
battery acid reaches the level specified by the battery manufacturer. This
helps to purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery
without removable cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's instructions.
