Battery Charger

ENGINE & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
NEVER run the boat's engine and the battery charger at the same time.
The battery charging systems (alternator and battery charger) installed on your boat are
designed to charge conventional lead-acid batteries. Before installing gel-cell or other new tech-
nology batteries, consult with the battery manufacturer about charging system requirements.
Your boat is equipped with a battery charger. Thoroughly read and understand the battery charger manual before
using the battery charger for the first time.
• The battery charger will charge the boat's batteries whenever the boat is plugged into 120V/60Hz shore power and
the "BATTERY CHARGER" AC breaker is On.
• The battery charger is independent of the battery switch. For proper charging, the battery switch can be in
any position.
• You may use DC powered electrical systems, such as the lights and stereo when the battery charger is On, but
there will be a corresponding drop in charger performance.
