limit the charge more consistently and accurately. Such controls also may have a safety
feature that prevents sparks and reverse charging when the clamps are connected in
reverse, by mistake.
Place a wet cloth over the vent opening or openings. If, when charging the battery, violent
gassing or spewing of electrolyte occurs, or the battery case feels hot (125°F, 52°C),
reduce or temporarily halt charging to avoid damaging the battery.
Follow the manufacturers instructions on the charger. If they can no longer be read and a
copy of them is not available, write to the manufacturer for a copy and paste it on the
charger. Never use a charger without these instructions.
