8. PREPARING THE BATTERY CHARGER
8.1 BEFORE CHARGING YOUR
BATTERY
We recommend that the battery is disconnected
from the vehicle, this will avoid any possible
damage to the alternator. Loss of codes for audio
and security etc, can be prevented by connecting a
Draper Memory Saver – Stock No. 22277 12V
socket type (Fig.1), or Stock No. 22231 EOBD
16pin diagnostic socket type (Fig.2) before
disconnecting the battery. Check that the voltage of
the battery matches that of the charger.
Before connecting the battery to the charger ensure
that both are stable and on a level surface. If the
battery has cell filler caps, loosen or remove them to
aid in the escape of charging gasses (if the battery
is a Gel or maintenance free/sealed type, please
refer to battery manufacturers published charging
advice). Once the cell caps have been loosened or
removed it is advisable to check the level of
electrolyte in each cell and top up with distilled
water only to the recommended fill level.
Caution! Never top up your battery with tap water.
