M. Battery Charger

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH GEL PACK,

SEALED OR SMALL (MOTORCYCLE) BATTERIES.

This generator contains an additional circuit used for battery

charging purposes. A DC accessory receptacle is provided on the

control panel. A battery charging cable equipped with a matching

plug for this receptacle has been supplied with the unit. Line up

metal prongs on plug with arrows on receptacle to secure.

The battery charger on this generator is referred to as an

unregulated taper charger - the most widely used in the market today.

The amount of current flowing will depend on the charging voltage

and battery's state of charge. As the battery becomes more fully

charged, the output current to the battery decreases and nearly

becomes constant. Taper chargers are intended to be used with the

provision that they will be disconnected from the battery after a

maximum time on charge. Normally a period of 30 to 120 minutes is

sufficient to recharge a weak battery. The charge level of the battery

should be checked periodically.

CAUTION: This battery charging system is

intended to recharge weak batteries, not to "boost

start" vehicles. Do not overcharge battery or leave

battery unattended.

Note: When the battery charger circuit is in use, the AC

capacity is reduced by 96 watts. Make sure the combined load is

within the rated limits.

Before charging a storage battery, check the electrolyte fluid

level in all the cells. Add distilled water to each cell, if necessary, to

bring the level back up to the manufacturer's required level.

WARNING: Storage batteries give off

EXPLOSIVE hydrogen gas while charging. Do not

allow smoking, open flames, sparks, or spark

producing equipment in the area while charging.

Use cables approved for battery charging. Connect a red clip to

the positive terminal of the battery. Connect a black clip to the

negative terminal of the battery. Connect the other end of the cable

to the DC accessory receptacle on the generator panel. After the

battery is fully charged, remove the battery charging cable from the

generator and then disconnect from the battery posts.

WARNING: Battery electrolyte fluid is comprised

of sulfuric acid that can be very dangerous and

cause severe burns. Do not allow this fluid to

contact eyes, skin, clothing, etc. If contact or

spillage does occur, flush the area with water

immediately.

WARNING: Do not continue to charge a

battery that becomes hot or is fully charged.

N. DC Circuit Protector

The maximum current available from the battery charger circuit

is 8 amps. A DC circuit protector has been provided to protect the

circuit from overloads. If an overload occurs, the circuit protector

will trip. The circuit protector may be reset by pushing the button of

the protector. The battery's maximum rate of charge will eventually

reduce to less than 8 amps as the battery approaches a 100 percent

state of charge.

Charging a large capacity battery or a totally discharged battery

may cause the DC breaker to turn off. In these cases, a separate

battery charger unit connected to an AC power source is

recommended instead of the DC receptacle on the generator.
