Precautions When Preparing to Charge
NOTES:
1. Study and follow all of the battery manufacturer's specific precautions,
such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, whether
equalization is acceptable for your battery, and recommended rates of
charge.
2. For flooded non-sealed batteries, add distilled water in each cell until
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.
Precautions When Placing the Battery Charger
NOTE: For North American marine installations, external connections to the
charger shall comply with the United States Coast Guard Electrical
Regulations (33CFR183, Sub Part I).
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 battery 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.
RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY CHARGER
• Never allow battery acid to drip on the battery charger when reading
gravity, or filling battery.
• Never place the Truecharge2 Series Battery Charger unit directly
above batteries; gases from a battery will corrode and damage the
charger.
• Do not place a battery on top of the battery charger.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or
damage other equipment.
