Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of re and electric
shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size,
and shape as those of plug on charger;
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition; and That wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating

If the input rating of a charger is given in watts rather than in amperes, the corresponding
ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the wattage rating by the voltage rating - for
example: 1250 watts/125 volts = 10 amperes
