Installation Preparation

| Charging the Battery
You should fully charge your battery before using it for the first time to ensure peak performance.
You should also re-charge your battery at least once every 6 months to maintain your battery's peak
performance levels. This is especially important during periods of prolonged storage. This type of
battery should not be stored in a discharged state.
WARNING! Do NOT use the Humminbird charger with other manufacturers' batteries. The
Humminbird charger is only compatible with Humminbird batteries. If you have questions, please
see our Web site at humminbird.com or contact Humminbird Technical Support.
NOTE: Some international models may not include a battery or battery charger.
1. Charge the battery, using the included battery charger, until it is fully charged as indicated by
the LED on the charger. Charging usually requires 8 continuous hours, but may vary depending
on your configuration.
NOTE: The battery charger uses a yellow LED to indicate it is charging. On some models, this light
might appear closer to orange than yellow. When this happens, the battery is still charging properly
and should be left to charge until the LED becomes green.
2. Slide the battery terminal adapter over each spade terminal.
CAUTION! Do not pull on the battery or charger cables when you are trying to connect them or
disconnect them from the battery terminals. Push or pull gently on the spade terminals instead. If
the connector feels tight, use a slight wiggling motion to slide the spade connector into place on
the terminal.
NOTE: The battery terminal adapter allows you to power your control head and charge it at the
same time.
