Before using the battery charger or inverter/charger, read all instructions and warnings: (1) on the battery charger
or inverter/charger, (2) on the batteries, and (3) in the battery charger manual.

The battery switches can be in any position during charging.
•
The battery charger will automatically charge your yacht’s batteries when 110-volt AC power is being provided by
shore power or generator power, and the battery charger circuit breaker on the 110-volt AC master panel is On.

For the inverter/charger (if equipped) to charge the batteries, the inverter must be turned On and the inverter bat-
tery switch must be turned On.

You may use 12-volt DC powered electrical systems, such as the lights and stereo when the battery charger or
inverter/charger is charging, but there will be a corresponding drop in charger performance.
