BATTERY SAFETY
INFORMATION
WARNING: Use the charger
only with an algorithm that is
appropriate to the specific battery
type and capacity. Other usage may cause
personal injury and damage. Lead acid
batteries may generate explosive hydrogen
gas during normal charging. Keep sparks,
flames, and smoking materials away from
batteries. If this charger is used with lithium-
ion type batteries, an integrated battery
management system (BMS) must be used.
The BMS must ensure that, in all operating
modes, the battery cells are protected from
inappropriate levels of voltage, current,
temperature, and state of charge. Do not
operate the charger in a closed-in area or
restrict its ventilation. Never charge a frozen
or non-rechargeable battery. Observe all
battery manufacturers’ precautions (e.g.,
maximum charge rates and if cell caps
should be removed while charging).
