WARNING: Specific Safety Instructions
for Lithium Batteries
12V Lithium charge mode is designed for 12-volt lithium-ion
batteries only, including iron phosphate.
WARNING: Use this mode with extreme care. This mode should
only be used with 12V Lithium-ion automotive batteries that have a
built-in battery management system (BMS). Lithium-ion batteries
are made and constructed in different ways and some may or may
not contain a battery management system (BMS). Consult the
Lithium-ion battery manufactures before charging and ask for
recommended charging rates and voltages. Some Lithium-ion
batteries may be unstable and unsuitable for charging.
WARNING: – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, burst
hazard, or injury to persons or property:
• Lithium batteries must be used and charged properly. Improper use
can result in serious injury, fire, or death.
• Lithium-ion batteries can explode in the presence of a source of
ignition. Do not use lithium battery in the presence of an open flame.
• Do not place this lithium-ion battery unit in fire or apply heat to it.
• Do not subject lithium battery to strong impacts or shocks. Or it may
cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite.
• Do not expose lithium battery to water or salt water, or allow the
battery to get wet.
• Avoid storing lithium battery in the basement, bathroom or other
areas of the house that are or may become wet or humid or where
moisture may concentrate.
• Do not leave lithium battery in direct sunlight, or use or store it inside
cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate
heat, rupture, or ignite.
• Never charge lithium battery near heat or flammable objects.
WARNING: NEVER THROW WATER ON A BURNING LITHIUM
BATTERY! If a lithium battery does catch on fire, it will burn even
more violently if it comes in contact with water or even moisture in
the air. A fire extinguisher must be used.
Preparing to Charge A LEAD-ACID
Battery
1. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being
charged.
2. Remove battery completely from boat/airplane or any confined
area before charging.
3. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to
clean terminals, always remove grounded terminal from battery
first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to
cause an arc.
4. Clean battery terminals, taking care to avoid getting corrosive
material in eyes.
5. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level
specified by battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive
gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps
(maintenance free), carefully follow manufacturer's charging
instructions.
6. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such
as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, and
recommended rates of charge.
7. Determine voltage of battery to be charged by referring to the
vehicle manual. The unit is for charging a 6 Volt/12 Volt lead-acid
battery only.
