MAINTAINING THE C-CHARGER
There are no adjustment or maintenance requirements for the C-Charger other than cleaning the outside cabinet
with a dry cloth. Periodically have all connections checked by a qualified service person, especially if the boat is
operated in heavy, pounding seas.
Check battery water levels frequently, especially if the boat is at dock for extended periods of time.
Low water levels will damage batteries!
CAUTION
ATTENTION
Vérifiez fréquemment le niveau des liquides de la batterie, surtout si l’embarcation demeure à quai
pendant de longues périodes. Des niveaux trop bas peuvent endommager les batteries.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE C-CHARGER
If there is a problem with the C-Charger, first check all connections and retest. If all connections are good, see if
the problem is covered in Table 5. If the problem is not covered in Table 5, or if the C-Charger still malfunctions
after performing the solution given, contact Charles Marine Products for technical assistance.
Table 5. Troubleshooting Suggestions
Condition
Solution
Not clear if batteries
are fully charged.
As the batteries charge, the ammeter gradually falls. When it reads zero, the batteries
are fully charged.
It takes too long to
charge batteries.
The C-Charger brings a discharged battery voltage level up slowly to avoid shortening
the life of the battery. The recharge time depends on the degree of discharge.
Unable to identify if
lack of battery charge
is due to a battery
problem or a C-Char-
ger problem.
When the ammeter reads zero, test the condition of a battery by first turning off the AC
power source to the C-Charger, and disconnecting the battery from the C-Charger for
at least one hour. Connect battery to an ohm-volt meter. A reading of 12.6 VDC or
more is desirable. A reading between 12.4 and 12.6 indicates a charge between 75 and
100%. A reading between 12.2 and 12.4 VDC indicates a charge between 50 and 75%.
Consult the battery manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual for instructions.
If it appears the battery is operating properly, proceed to check the following only after
reading and fully understanding all safety instructions listed in this manual. Check input
voltage at 120 VAC, check the C-Charger’s AC fuse and DC fuse, check the battery
fuse/AC circuit breaker (Figure 1, Note 3) and check all associated wiring connections.
If these appear to be working, the C-Charger’s DC output can be tested by turning off
all AC power to the unit and then disconnecting all DC outputs from the charger. Upon
reapplying AC power, the DC voltage between any (+) and (−) output terminal on TB2
should be between 13.5 and 15 volts DC. Should the unit still be inoperable after all
tests have been completed in sequence, refer to the section in this manual on Warranty
& Customer Service.
