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 HB-xxxx 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. Refer to the
Troubleshooting
section for information on error codes.
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.
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dangerous. It contains sulfuric
acid. Avoid contact with skin eyes or clothing. Wear rubber gloves
and safety glasses while servicing batteries. DO NOT INGEST! This
may result in severe bodily injury.
The key switch must be in the "OFF" position when charging the
batteries. Failure to turn the key switch "OFF" may result in damage
to the vehicles electrical system.
