MONITORING SEALED & NON-SEALED BATTERIES: When leaving a battery charger connected to either a sealed (AGM or GEL) or non-sealed (flooded battery) for extended periods of time (weeks, months, etc.), periodically check the battery to see if it is unusually warm. LOCATION OF POWER CORDS: Make sure all electric power cords are located so that they cannot be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of damage to both the plug and cord, and it will minimize the likelihood of electric shock resulting from that damage. HANDLING POWER CORDS: When handling electric power cords, always pull by the plug rather than by the cord. To do otherwise may result in the risk of electric shock, fire, or possibly some other unforeseen potential personal injury situations. However, do not expose the AC and DC electrical connections at the ends of the power cords to rain or snow.ĬHARGER ATTACHMENTS: Do not use attachments that are not recommended or sold by Deltran or its affiliates. EXCESSIVE MOISTURE: The charger body and power cords are fully waterproof. For example, do not use a 12-volt charger with a 6-volt battery and vice-versa. NEVER set the charger on a surface constructed from combustible material.ĬHARGER VOLTAGE COMPATIBILITY: NEVER use a battery charger unless the battery voltage matches the output voltage rating of the charger. USING MANUALS: Study all of the battery manufacturer's precautions and specific recommendations for safe operation such as not removing cell caps while charging and the recommended rates of charge (charger output current).ĬHARGER LOCATION: LOCATE the charger as far away from the battery as is allowed by the length of the output cable harness. Because of this potential danger, it is important that you follow the precautions recommended by both the battery and battery charger manufacturers before using either one. In many cases, it is possible that lead acid batteries will emit these gasses during normal discharge and charging operations. WORKING WITH LEAD ACID BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGERS:Īll lead acid batteries have the potential to emit gasses that may combine into a combustible or explosive mixture. WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.ĬAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.ĬAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation that if not avoided, may result in property damage. INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE BATTERY CHARGER. Important safety and operating instructions for the DELTRAN BATTERY TENDER® VRW Power Tender Plus Battery Chargers, both 12V6A and 24V3A models. Meets agency approvals and safety standards from UL/CSA, FCC.Ĭalifornia Residents WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - P65Warnings.ca.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains Safety timer to shut off the charger after 72 hours of continuous use Reverse polarity protection ensures the charger will not charge unless the connections are attached correctly

Spark proof connections (ring terminals and alligator clips) will not spark when touched together, the charger will not produce output voltage until it senses at least 3 volts from the battery Float/Maintenance Mode keeps the battery charged without overcharging or dischargingīattery Tender® battery chargers and maintainers are manufactured with built-in safety features like: Absorption Mode slows the charging down until the battery reaches full chargeĤ. Initialization determines if the battery is connected correctly and battery’s charge level, compositionĢ.Bulk Charge brings the charge up with full charge and constant currentģ. Smart charger technology assures the correct level of power is sent to the battery at all times.ġ.
