CHARGE CABLE
Honda BF4A, BF5D and BF6A
outboard motors produce a 12-volt,
6-ampere battery charging current
and are equipped for connection to a
12-volt battery. The battery charging
circuit is protected by a 15-ampere
fuse.
The outboard motor's 12-volt output
is designed to charge a ''starting or
cranking'' type battery only. It is not
intended to charge a ''deep-cycle''
type battery. Lights and electrical
accessories for the boat should be
connected to the battery.
The battery should be kept in a
corrosion-resistant battery box that is
securely mounted in a location away
from the fuel tank and protected from
water and direct sunlight.
