USING THE QUICK-CONNECT CABLE CONNECTORS
There is a 2 amp, inline fuse in the cable assemblies to prevent
damage to the charger, if it is connected to a battery incorrectly. If the
charger does not charge the battery, check the fuse. If the fuse needs
replacing, only replace it with a fuse of the same size and rating.
NOTE: Never connect the clamp and ring terminal connectors
together for use in other applications, such as external battery or
other power source charging, or to extend the output cable length, as
reverse polarity and/or overcharge conditions will occur.
