Installation Instructions 12. Use the XADC for charging a lead-acid battery only. Do not use the XADC to charge nickel-cadmium or dry-cell batteries commonly used with home appliances and electronic equipment. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property. 13. Never attempt to charge a frozen battery. Charging a battery when its temperature is below 32 °F (0 °C) is inefficient and ineffective. If possible, warm the battery above 32 °F (0 °C) before charging. F
