Re: Be aware of battery and charger inconsistencies!
I am sorry to disagree with those that state there is no rule about chargers. It is found in the safety manual and as LRI's we have been told to enforce it. The highlight is mine but a direct quote. From the safety manual:
"Charging and Handling
Keep the battery-charging area clean and orderly.
Place your battery charger in an area where cooling air can freely circulate around
the charger. Battery chargers can fail without proper ventilation.
Do not short out the battery terminals. If metal tools/parts contact the terminals
simultaneously, it will create a direct short circuit. This may cause high heat to
develop in the battery terminal/part/tool area and the battery could explode.
If a quick disconnect is not available and you must use tools to disconnect the
battery, make sure metal tools don’t contact both terminals at the same time.
Do not charge battery at greater than the manufacturer’s maximum recommended
rate."
