Battery Charging Cautions

Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being charged.
Ensure that the battery terminal connections are secure and not corroded.
Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit.
Never mount the charger directly above the batteries being charged. Gases from the batteries will corrode and damage the charger. It is also possible that the gases from the battery may cause an explosion or fire.
Never try to charge a frozen battery. Charging the battery when it temperature is lower than 0 degrees C is inefficient and ineffective. If possible, warm the battery to room temperature before charging.
