into the battery charger’s GFCI outlet. Ground fault circuit interrupters
(GFCI) can help prevent electrical shock or electrocution.
The GFCI outlets provide auxiliary power to 120V devices that require
less than 15 amps.
The GFCI must be tested before each use. To test:

The power cord must be plugged into a 3-prong grounded 120V AC wall 12.5
outlet for the GFCI operation to function. Ground fault circuit interrupters
(GFCI) can help prevent electrical shock or electrocution.
