Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or battery circuit cable from the battery when the charging unit is operated. A spark can cause an explosion from the flammable vapor mixture of hydrogen and oxygen that is released from the electrolyte through the battery outlets. Injury to personnel can be the result. |
The battery circuit is an electrical load on the charging unit. The load is variable because of the condition of the charge in the battery.
