Battery Disconnection

To remove the battery cables:

Removal of Batteries

Remove the negative cable first, then the positive cable. To replace the cables, 
first replace the positive cable, then the negative.

See table of batteries on previous page.

Batteries should be disconnected when not in use and especially while 
the boat is unattended. 

Replenish only with distilled water. Do not use metal funnel.

If you need to charge a battery, use only a battery charger designed to charge 
automotive/marine batteries. Use charger only when batteries are disconnected 
from the boat's electrical circuit. Follow the charger instructions.

Battery Maintenance

When charging and (dis)connecting a battery ensure that no water or 
metal objects can contact the terminals.

Turn off all items drawing power from the battery.

Ensure that the battery space is well ventilated at all times.

The life of some battery types is shortened if drained to zero charge. It is 
recommended that a battery not be discharged more than 50 percent. If the battery 
does become run down, recharge it as soon as possible.

Check the fluid levels in the cells (if appropriate for the battery type) approximately 
every 4 weeks, and weekly in summer and hot zones.

If your boat will not be used for several weeks remove the batteries from the boat 
and connect them to a charger.

Turn the battery switch to the OFF position

Keep batteries clean and dry.

Disconnect switch location(s):

Stbd Helm console

Caution

The fluid level must be between the lower and upper markings.

Running the engine to recharge the battery may not be effective. The alternator 
only creates charging power at higher engine speeds, idling for long periods will 
not generate enough power to recharge the battery.
