MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The XM1-5-CA maintains both 6 and 12 volt batteries, keeping them at
full charge.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology allows you to safely charge and
maintain a healthy battery for extended periods of time. However, problems
with the battery, electrical problems in the vehicle, improper connections
or other unanticipated conditions could cause excessive current draws.
As such, occasionally monitoring your battery and the charging process is
recommended.

13. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

A minimal amount of care can keep your battery charger working properly
for years.
• Clean the clamps each time you are finished charging. Wipe off any battery
fluid that may have come in contact with the clamps, to prevent corrosion.
• Occasionally cleaning the case of the charger with a soft cloth will keep
the finish shiny and help prevent corrosion.
• Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing the charger. This will
help prevent accidental damage to the cords and charger.
• Store the charger unplugged from the AC power outlet, in an upright position.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not store the clamps on the handle,
clipped together, on or around metal, or clipped to the cables.
