IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• IMPORTANT! Batteries can be severly damaged if they are not charged
after each use. For maximum battery life, charge batteries 100% (solid
green) every other charge.
• If your batteries are new, charge batteries 100% (solid green).
• Do not charge the batteries longer than 30 hours.
• Adults Note: Regularly examine the charger for damage to the cord, plug,
housing or other parts that may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or
injury. In the event of any damage, do not use the charger until the damage
has been properly repaired. Please call 1-800-348-0751.
• Before charging the batteries, examine battery cases for cracks and other
damage which may cause sulfuric acid (electrolyte) to leak during the
charging process. If damage is detected, do not charge the batteries or use
them in your vehicle. Battery acid is very corrosive and can cause severe
damage to the surfaces it contacts.
• Do not charge the batteries on a surface (such as a kitchen counter top)
which could be damaged by the acid contained inside a battery. Take
precautions to protect the surface on which you charge the batteries.
• Do not short circuit the batteries.
• The batteries must be upright while charging.
• Disconnect the charger before cleaning.
• Charger specifications are as follows:
Input 100-240 V AC 50/60Hz 50W
