13. PREPARING TO CHARGE

a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded

terminal from battery ﬁrst. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as

not to cause an arc.

b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.

c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact

with eyes.

d) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level speciﬁed by bat-

tery manufacturer. Do not overﬁll. For a battery without removable cell caps, such

as valve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging

instruction.

e) Study all battery manufacturer’s speciﬁc precautions while charging and recom-

mended rates of charge.

f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual and make sure

that the output voltage selector switch is set at correct voltage. If charger has

adjustable charge rate, charge battery initially at lowest rate.

b) Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will

corrode and damage charger.

c) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte speciﬁc grav-

ity or ﬁlling battery.

d) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.

e) Do not set a battery on top of charger.
