Installing Batteries

Installing Batteries

Battery installation should always be treated like a brand new
installation. This means, that all safety and precautionary guidelines
that were followed prior and during the installation of the battery
charger, must again be followed in order to avoid risks of electrical
shock, injury, or death.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Disconnect both AC and DC power from the battery charger before
attempting to replace old or defective batteries and even installing
new batteries.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.

DANGER
To replace an old battery:
1. Turn off the AC source by disconnecting the AC line and/or
opening the AC source disconnect.
2. Switch off all devices operating from currently installed
batteries.
3. Disconnect the battery cables from the old battery.
NOTE: For Negative chassis systems, disconnect the
negative cable first, then the positive cable.
4. Replace the old battery with the new battery.
5. Reconnect the battery cables to the new battery.
NOTE: For Negative chassis systems, reconnect the
positive cable first, then the negative cable.
If the new battery is different from the old one in chemistry,
temperature, or size, remember to re-configure the battery
settings accordingly.
