The charger is equipped with a long cordintended to allow the battery to be charged outside of an automobile whenusing the automobile’s auxiliary power socket. If the cord will not reachoutside of the automobile, find another power source. Never charge batteries on wood, cloth, carpet or on any other flammable material. Do not operate the charger in a cluttered space, or place objects on top of thecharger or battery. If a battery gets hot to the touch during the charging process (temperaturegreater than 140 F / 60 C), disconnect the battery from the charger anddiscontinue charging immediately.
