WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD
A spark near the battery may cause an explosion. Follow instructions carefully to reduce the risk of spark near the battery. Do not face the battery when making the final connection.
WARNING: BATTERY DAMAGE
Do not use Li-Ion charging mode if you are connecting an SLA/AGM battery. Additionally, if you are connecting a Lithium-Ion battery, please ensure that Li-Ion mode is selected. Using the wrong charge mode may damage your battery.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASESWorking in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that each time before using a battery charger, you read this guide and follow the instructions exactly. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on any engine.Personal Precautions - Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
- Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
- Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
- If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
- NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.
- Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
- Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
- Use the battery charger for charging a 6V or 12V LEAD-ACID or LITHIUM-ION battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system. Do not use the battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
- NEVER charge a frozen battery
Charger Location
- Place the battery charger as far away from the battery as the output DC cable permits.
- Never place the battery charger directly above a battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage the charger.
- Never allow battery acid to drip on the charger when reading specific gravity or filling battery.
- Do not operate the charger in an enclosed area. Do not restrict ventilation in any way.
- Do not set a battery on top of the charger.
Failure to follow these safety guidelines may cause personal injury and/or damage to the battery charger. It may also void your product warranty
