Charging
Maintain batteries used for starting in a good state of
charge. Check the battery with a voltmeter as shown in
Figure 10. Recharge any battery that cannot deliver at
least 9.6 volts under a starting load. If recharging does not
bring it up to strength or if it does not hold the charge, re-
place the battery.
A cold battery will not accept a charge readily. If the
temperature is below 40"
F (5" C), allow the battery to
warm up to room temperature before charging. The bat-
tery does not have to be removed from the boat before
charging, but it is a recommended procedure since a
charging battery gives off highly explosive hydrogen gas.
In many boats, the area around the battery is not well ven-
tilated and the gas may remain in the area for several
hours after the charging procedure has been completed.
Sparks or flames occurring near the battery can cause it to
explode, spraying battery acid over a wide area.
Disconnect the negative battery cable first, then the
positive battery cable. Make sure the electrolyte is full.
Remove the vent caps and place a folded paper towel over
the vent openings to absorb any electrolyte that may splat-
ter as the battery charges.
Connect the charger to the battery; negative to negative,
positive to positive. If the charger output is variable, select
a 10-12 amp setting. Set the voltage selector to 12 volts
and plug the charger in. Once the battery starts to accept a
charge, reduce the charge rate to a level that will prevent
excessive gassing.
The length of time required to recharge a battery de-
pends upon its rating, state of charge and temperature.
Generally speaking, the current input time should equal
the battery amp-hour rating. For example, a 45
AH battery
will require a 9-amp charging rate for five hours (9
5
=
45) or a 15-amp charging rate for three hours
(1 5 3
=
45). Check charging progress with the hydrometer.
Jump Starting
If the battery becomes discharged, it is possible to start
and run the engine by jump starting it from another bat-
tery.
Before jump starting a battery when temperatures are
32"
F
C) or lower, check the condition of the electro-
lyte. If it is not visible or if it appears to be frozen, do not
attempt to jump start the battery, as the battery may ex-
plode or rupture.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when connecting a
booster battery to one that is discharged to
avoidpersonal injury or damage to the sys-
tem.
1. Connect the jumper cables in the order and sequence
shown in
Figure 11.
An electrical arc may occur when the final
connection is made. This could cause an ex-
plosion
occurs near the battery. For this
reason,
connection should be made
