Battery Charging And Lighting - Honda Outboard Motor BF50 Owner's Manual

5. Battey Charging and Lighting (Optional parts)
The DC receptacle provides a 12V, 40W current for 12V battery charg-
ing and lighting. The circuit is protected by a 5A fuse that is accessible
by removing the engine cover.
An electrical plug for the DC receptacle is supplied with your motor. Wire
your charging or lighting cord to this plug.
w Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames, and
cigarettes away. To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the
battery, connect the charging cords first to the battery, then to the
outboard motor, and disconnect the charging cords first at the outboard
motor.
CAUTION:
l
Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive charging cord. DD
not reverse the charging cords, or serious damage to the outboard
motor's charging circuit and/or battery may occur.
l
When not in use, cover the DC receptacle with the rubber cover to keep
it dry and clean.
