The lead acid battery for your Storm
station is only partially charged at the
factory. Before using this product, the
battery must be charged for a minimum
of 10 hours.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. Longest life and best performance
can be obtained if the battery is
charged when the air temperature
is between 65°F and 75°F (18°-
24°C). DO NOT charge the battery
in an air temperature below
+40°F(+4.5°C), or above +105°F
(+40.5°C). This is important and
will prevent serious damage to the
battery.
2. The charger and battery may
become warm to touch while
charging. This is a normal
condition, and does not indicate a
problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery after use, avoid placing
the charger in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed, or an
uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery does not charge
properly — (1) Check current at
receptacle by plugging in a lamp or
other appliance, (2) Check to see if
receptacle is connected to a light
switch which turns power off when
you turn out the lights. (3) Move
charger and battery to a location
where the surrounding air
10:52 AM Page 3
temperature is approximately 65°F
- 75°F (18°- 24°C). (4) If charging
problems persist, take or send this
product to your local service
center.
4. Under certain conditions, with the
charger plugged into the power
supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be
shorted by foreign material.
Foreign materials of a conductive
nature such as, but not limited to,
steel wool, aluminum foil, or any
buildup of metallic particles should
be kept away from charger
cavities. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
5. DO NOT immerse charger in water
or any other liquid.
WARNING: Don't allow any
liquid to get inside charger. Electric
shock may result.
6. DO NOT attempt to charge the
battery with any chargers other
than the ones in this manual. The
charger and battery are specifically
designed to work together.
7. The charger is not intended for any
use other than charging the battery
in the Storm Station. Any other
uses may result in risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution.
8. Pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger. This will
reduce risk of damage to electric
plug and cord.
9. Make sure cord is located so that it
will not be stepped on, tripped
over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
10. DO NOT use an extension cord
unless it is absolutely necessary.
Use of an improper extension cord
could result in risk of fire, electric
shock, or electrocution.
11. An extension cord must have
adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety.
The smaller the gauge number of
the wire, the greater the capacity
