PREPARING TO CHARGE
1. Determine voltage of vehicle battery by referring to car owner's
manual and make sure it matches output rating of Vehicle Battery
WALT
®
Charger (12V).
2. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always
remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all
accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
3. Be sure the area around the vehicle battery is well-ventilated while
the vehicle battery is being charged.
4. Clean the vehicle battery terminals, Be careful to keep corrosion
from coming in contact with eyes.
5. For non-maintenance-free batteries, add distilled water in each
cell until battery acid reaches the level specified by the battery
manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do
not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, such as
valve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufacturer's
recharging instructions.
6. STUDY ALL BATTERY MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFIC
O
PRECAUTIONS, SUCH AS REMOVING OR NOT REMOVING
CELL CAPS WHILE CHARGING, AND RECOMMENDED RATES
OF CHARGE.
CHARGER LOCATION
• Locate the charger as far away from the vehicle battery as DC cables
permit.
• Never place the charger directly above the vehicle battery being
charged; gases from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.
