The battery charging unit located on the
starboard bilge component board is fully
automatic and is designed specifically for the
marine environment. It is powered by the
BATTERY CHARGER (24V) breaker on the
main AC distribution panel. The high frequency
characteristic has allowed these chargers to
achieve a huge size and weight reduction over
their previously used equipment. Commonly

called high frequency or smart chargers, these
units bring sophistication to the battery charger
field. These units feature built-in LED charge
indicators located on the front panel. This gives
an accurate reading of the combined battery
current and load current. To verify that the
charger is functioning properly, turn on lights
or other loads. The LED indicators should
register and show an increasing output level. .
See manufacturer Operator Owners Manual for
maintenance and trouble shooting instructions.
Charging characteristics contain three (3)
elements:
•
Bulk Charge - this is initiated at power up and
provides the chargers full-rated current to the
battery bank until a predetermined voltage level
of 28.4V to 28.8V is achieved and/or a certain
time has passed.
•
Absorption Charge - this stage immediately
follows the bulk charge mode. It maintains the
battery voltage at the bulk charge voltage level,
but gradually decreases the current as the
battery accepts the charge until it reaches a
predetermined current level.
•
Float Charge - this stage is designed to hold
the battery at a safe, low voltage (typically
26.6V) providing up to the chargers full rated
amperage to accommodate DC load
requirements. The charge will remain in this
mode until the AC power is cycled off and then
on again.
Never block air circulation through the unit. Never
store any gear on top of the units.
It is advisable to replace both batteries in the boat
even if only one battery is bad. This allows the charge
and discharge of each battery to be as close as
possible to each other.
