* If the input rating of a battery charger is given in watts
rather than in amperes, the corresponding ampere
rating is to be determined by dividing the wattage rating
by the voltage rating–for example:
1,250 watts
= 10 amperes
125 volts
8. Do not operate battery charger with damaged cord or
plug-replace them immediately.
9. Do not operate battery charger if it has received a
