Safety Information
• NL1 5 Step Intelligent Battery Charger is designed for
charging 12V 1.2-20Ah Lead-Acid rechargeable batteries.
Flooded (WET), MF, VRLA, AGM, GEL & Calcium.
Do not use for any other purpose.
• Do not charge a 6V battery using 12V mode
• Before charging make sure that the
AC
input power is as
per rated specifications.
• Do not use the charger with a damaged cable. It must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified technician in order to ensure safety.
• Never charge a damaged battery.
• Never charge a frozen battery.
• Never place charger above the battery being charged.
(Gasses from the battery will corrode / damage the charger).
• Do not cover the charger while charging.
• During charging place the battery in a well ventilated area.
• While charging always use safety glasses, gloves,
protective clothing and keep your face away from the
battery.
•
Explosion hazard!
A battery being charged could emit
explosive gasses. Avoid smoking or open sparks or flames
in the vicinity of the battery. Explosive and flammable sub
-
stances such as fuel or solvents should not be kept in
the vicinity of the charger or the battery.
WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE A
NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERY (PRIMARY CELLS)
•
Danger of chemical burns!
Battery acid is highly
corrosive. If your skin or eyes come into contact with
acid, immediately rinse the affected part of the body
with water and seek medical advice.
• All batteries eventually fail. If that happens during
charging, the charger’s advance control system will
detect it. There may be some rare errors that still exist in
the battery, so do not leave charging
unattended for a long period of time.
• Normally, a battery is grounded either on negative or
positive terminal to the vehicle’s chassis. The charger’s
DC battery clamps are to be connected to the battery
terminal
not connected to the chassis first
.
The second connection is then to be made to the other
battery terminal. The battery charger is then connected
to the AC power supply.
• After charging, first disconnect the battery charger from the
AC mains before removing the battery connections.
•
NB: Do not leave the charger connected to the
battery without AC power, as this will have a “back
drain” and flatten the battery over time.
•
