Safety precautions during charging of your car’s
storage battery
Remember that any battery charging process implies supply of voltage
exceeding the rated 12 V to the storage battery and accordingly to
the car circuit, which may damage the car electronic equipment and
additional installed equipment in your car.
Do not use charging and starting/charging devices for storage battery
charging directly on the car without disconnecting the storage
battery terminals from the car circuit in the following modes:
• rapid charging by increased current («boost» or similar
modes)
• various START modes intended for engine starting
• in the storage battery 24 V charging mode
Never use starting and charging devices for engine starting without
a connected storage battery and with connected inoperable storage
batteries (short circuits in banks, breakage of plates etc.)
Never use inoperable charging devices, 24 V charging devices and
devices not intended for storage battery charging, e.g., welding
invertors.
All the aforesaid devices and modes may cause uncontrolled supply
of increased voltage over 25 V and up to 60 V to the car circuit and
cause failure of the electronic components of the security system and
car equipment.
The light-up method should not be used for storage battery charging.
Even the described «safe» light-up methods are safe only for the
«donor» car. Connection and disconnection of a fully discharged or
inoperable storage battery on your car with the engine operating may
cause failure of the electronic devices of your car and the car alarm
due to a short circuit or surges of increased voltage occurring during
storage battery connection and disconnection.
