Thermal Runaway

NOTE: This charger is equipped with an auto-start feature. Current
will not be supplied to the battery clips until a battery is properly
connected. Meaning, the clips will not spark if touched together.
Using The Quick-disconnect Cable Connectors
Connect any of the three output cable assemblies to the charger in
seconds. Make sure to place the charger on a dry, non-flammable
surface like metal or concrete.

other power source charging, or to extend the output cable length, as
reverse polarity and/or overcharge conditions will occur.
