WARNING
Unsupervised, incompatible, or damaged batteries can
explode if used with a charger. Do not attempt to charge
damaged or frozen batteries. Use charger only with
batteries or recommended voltage. Operate the charger
in well-ventilated areas only. If one battery has to be
replaced, replace them all because they do not recharge
at the same rate.
12.5 Charging with an External Charger
NOTE
Batteries in PCMS units are 6 volt. The batteries are wired in series to create a
12V system (2 x 6V batteries linked together). Additional batteries (2 x 6V) are
then connected in parallel to increase capacity. Most battery chargers are 12 V
and need to be connected correctly.
Most garage and consumer automotive battery chargers only offer a Bulk Charge.
These units have little (if
any) voltage regulation and
are fine for a quick boost to
low batteries. Do not leave
on for long periods as you
risk overcharging and
damaging your batteries
