it can be disconnected from the charger. If the battery is then left connected to
the charger, the charger will charge it cyclically.

9 | Preparation, connection and operation

WARNING!
Connecting batteries incorrectly, short-circuiting batteries
and improper handling of the battery and charger are
potential sources of danger!
• Make sure that all preparations are made properly.
• Every time you use your charger, first check the charger and
cables for damage. Never use the charger if the protective
insulation on the power cord or charging cable is damaged
(crushed, torn, sheared off etc.).
• Before charging, check that the correct voltage and mode
are set.
• Explosive gases may accumulate near to the floor. Position
the charger as high as possible and no closer to the floor than
necessary. Do not position the charger on top of the battery
or in its direct vicinity. During the charging process, make sure
that the room is sufficiently ventilated.
• If you are working with batteries which are not maintenance-
free, it is recommended that the battery be removed from
the vehicle, as emitted battery acid mist may otherwise
damage the vehicle, for instance. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on how to remove the battery.
• If your battery is not maintenance-free, open the caps on the
individual cells before charging (we recommend cleaning
the surface of the battery beforehand to prevent dirt from
getting into the battery). Allow the battery housing to vent for
approximately 2 minutes so that any flammable gases can
evaporate.
• The acid level must be checked on lead batteries that are
not maintenance-free. If the acid level is too low, top up with
deionised/distilled water until it reaches the respective filling
mark. Leave the cells open during the entire charging process
