Xantrex XC Series - User Manual

To Next Page

The Easy Shunt™ (Part #: 808-8020-00) is an option that you can purchase for use with

your XC Series or BC Series battery charger. It is installed on Bank 1 and acts as a

temperature sensor during normal operation, providing improved battery voltage charge

control. It also provides an Amp-Hour usage indicator (a "fuel gauge" for your main

battery bank) via your XC Series or BC Series charger when the charger is off.

Precautions When Working With Batteries

1. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer

of the equipment in which the battery is installed.

2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.

3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.

4. Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark

or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.

5. Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with lead-

acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short circuit current high enough to

weld metal, causing a severe skin burn.

6. Have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid

when you work near a lead-acid battery.

7. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,

clothing, or eyes.

8. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes

while working near batteries.

9. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If

acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water for at least

twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.

10. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the negative (ground) terminal from

the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause a spark.
