• e charger has been de-
signed to use standard AC
power (100-240V ~ 50-60Hz). Do no re-
charge the battery using a generator power
supply as this will cause the charger to mal-
function.
• Our batteries charge best when the ambi-
ent temperature is between 32°F and 113°F.
Super-cooling or over-heating environ-
ments are not suitable for charging.
• Continuous use of the
charger is not advised as this will shorten
the life span of the battery and the perfor-
mance of the charger itself. When not in the
charging mode the power supply must be
turned o.
• Please do not carry the charger by the
