[. . . ] LIABILITY EXCLUSION As manufacturers, we at GRAUPNER are not in a position to ensure that you observe the correct methods of operation when installing, using and maintaining this charger. For this reason we are obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due to the incompetent or incorrect use and operation of our products, or which are connected with such operation in any way. The requirements made on rechargeable batteries vary greatly according to their particular application, and this in turn calls for different types of battery connector. Please note that connectors, connector names and polarities may vary from one manufacturer to another. For this reason we recommend that you always use genuine matching connectors of identical construction. The following charge leads are suitable for battery charging with this unit: : Be sure to use genuine charge leads fitted with cable of adequate conductor cross-section. CHARGER CONTROLS / CONNECTIONS Euro power plug for 110-240V AC POWER LED to show Power is on or off 4mm banana plugs (female) for all 7 outputs LEDs to show the charge functions for all 7 outputs A-6. INPUT CONNECTION Connect the charger to an easily accessible 110-240V AC mains socket near to the charger. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The charger is entirely maintenance-free in use, and requires no servicing of any kind. However, it is in your own interests to protect the unit from dust, dirt and damp. To clean the charger, disconnect it from the car battery and any other battery, and wipe it clean with a dry cloth (don't use cleaning agents!4 cells, presents the automatic charge termination circuit with a difficult task. The voltage peak is quite small in such cases, and it cannot be guaranteed that the cut-off circuit will work reliably. In such conditions the automatic circuit may not be triggered, or may not terminate the charge at the correct time. For this reason it is important to carry out a series of monitored test charge processes with your packs in order to establish whether the charge process is terminated reliably. â· Warm batteries offer much higher performance than cold ones, so don't be surprised if your batteries don't seem so effective in the winter. â· Overcharging and deep-discharging batteries lead to irreparable damage to the cells, and permanently reduces their maximum performance and effective capacity. Charge your batteries before storing them, and check their state of charge from time to time. â· When purchasing batteries we recommend that you buy good quality products exclusively. Start by charging new packs at low rates, and work up gradually towards higher currents. â· Batteries should not be charged until shortly before use, as they are then able to deliver their best performance. The temperatures which occur during soldering can easily damage the seals and safety valves of the cells. [. . . ] The correct method of disposal is to take it to your local collection point for recycling electrical and electronic equipment.
