Ensure to read all instructions and warnings in this user guide prior to first use. Retain this

user guide for future reference.

• This charger is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless

they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the charger by a

person responsible for their safety.

• Children must be supervised at all times to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

• This charger is designed for consumer use. Do not use this charger for commercial or

any other use.

• This charger is only suitable for lead-acid batteries and should not be used to recharge

NiCad or any other non-specified types of battery.

• When a normal lead-acid battery is being charged, the release of gas may cause the

fluid to bubble. As the gas is flammable, keep the area ventilated and free of naked

lights.

• Avoid getting battery fluid (electrolyte) on your skin or clothes. It is acidic and can cause

burns. If this occurs, you should rinse the affected area with water immediately.

• Never charge a frozen battery. If the battery fluid (electrolyte) is frozen, take the battery

to a warm area and allow it to thaw before you begin charging.

• Do not touch the battery clamps together when the charger is on.

• Only connect and disconnect the battery leads when the power cord is unplugged.

• Do not allow the power cord to be exposed to water, heat, direct sunlight, or overhang

where it can be pulled or otherwise be damaged or pose a hazard.

• This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to repair the charger

yourself.

• If the power cord is damaged, stop use immediately and contact help.Kogan.com for

assistance.

• Never place a battery on top of the charger or vice versa.

• Do not use with an extension cord unless necessary and if so, ensure it is suitably rated

and handled safely along with the charger’s power cord.

• If the charger is dropped, impacted, or otherwise damaged, stop use immediately and

contact help.Kogan.com for assistance.

SAFETY & WARNINGS

For batteries with cell caps (maintenance required)

• Remove the battery from your car to avoid possible damage to the alternating

current generator.

• To avoid damage to the car body from possible battery fluid spills, it is advisable to

completely dismantle the battery.

• Remove the covering caps from the battery cells and only replace them after the

charging procedure, so that any gases which build up during the charging procedure

can dissipate. It is unavoidable that some acid will spill during the charging

procedure.

• Check that the level of liquid in each battery cell is above the recommended filling

mark. If not, then the cell must be filled up with ionised or distilled water.

For batteries without cell caps (maintenance not required)

When charging batteries without cell caps, carefully follow the battery manufacturer’s

instructions.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Do not use tap water.
