1.  Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection when 

working with lead-acid batteries.

2.  Make sure someone is within range of your voice or close

enough to come to your aid when you work with or near a 

lead-acid battery.

3.  Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use if battery 

acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. If battery acid contacts 

skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.

4.  Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Acid

particles (corrosion) may get into your eyes! If acid enters your

eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least

10 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

5.  Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, 

necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. 

A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high

enough to weld a ring (or the like) to metal, causing a severe

burn.

6.  Take care not to drop a metal tool or other metal onto the 

battery. Metal may cause sparking or short circuit the battery or

another electrical device. Sparking may cause an explosion.

7.  Always operate battery charger in an open, well- ventilated

area.

8. 

NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the

battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases.

9. 

NEVER charge a frozen battery.

10.  Always unplug charger after each use.

1.   If necessary to remove battery from boat or vehicle to charge, 

always  remove  grounded  terminal  from  battery  first.  Make

sure all accessories in the boat or vehicle are off, so as not 

to cause an arc.

2.  Clean  battery  terminals. Take  care  to  keep  corrosion  from

coming in contact with your eyes.

3.  If required, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid 

reaches levels specified by battery manufacturer. This helps

purge excess gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery

without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging 

instructions.

4.  Study  all  battery  manufacturers’  specific  precautions,  such

as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, and 

recommended rates of charge.

5.  Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery 

is being charged. Using a piece of cardboard or other non-

metallic material as a fan can forcefully blow gas away.

Do not restrict the airflow under the charger. Do not mount the

charger  next  to  fuel  tanks  or  below  the  waterline  of  the  boat. 

The charger is waterproof and is approved for mounting on the 

weatherdeck.
To allow for proper air circulation, a minimum of four inches of un-

obstructed area must be permitted on all sides of the charger.
Chose  a  location  such  that  the  six-foot  cables  can  reach  the

battery(ies).  If  extra  length  is  needed,  bring  the  ring  lugs  to  a

terminal  block  and  extend  with  a  minimum  of  14AWG  cables.

Choose larger wire for extended runs.

The charger weight is substantial. Ensure that the mounting sur-

face is strong enough to support the charger. Choose a location

that will allow for all four mounting holes to be used. Mounting with

nuts, bolts and lock washers is preferable to screws.
Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged; 

gases may harm the charger over time. Never allow acid to drip on 

the charger when reading specific gravity or filling battery.
Do not set a battery or any other object on top of charger.

The charger may be permanently mounted and connected. Four 

mounting holes have been provided for secure installation. Choose

a location for the charger (see “CHARGER LOCATION” for proper

placement). Using the charger as a template, place the charger

in the selected location and mark each of the four holes with a 

pencil. In a well ventilated environment, drill the four holes using a 

#9 (7/32”) drill bit for use with nuts and bolts OR with a 5/32” drill

bit for use with #10 self tapping screws. Take caution of the area 

on the other side that you are drilling to avoid drilling into wires or 

other components. Using #10 bolts, nuts and lockwashers, mount

the charger with the LEDs facing up on a flat vertical surface to

allow for ventilation. Route the AC and DC cords to either end

and avoid pinching them under the base. A sealant may be used

to waterproof the screw holes.
