FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
20. Are the chargers serviceable?
• There are no serviceable components inside the charger.
21. Can one bank be disconnected while charging batteries on other banks?
• Yes, the charger banks are fully independent chargers. Unused banks can be left disconnected from batteries. The output of the
unused banks are not energized. It is always a good idea to cover or tape the loose end to prevent shorting of other electrical
systems in the boat.
22. Can I use a portable generator to run my charger?
• Careful selection should be used when deciding on a portable generator for electronics. There are 2 important factors that must
be considered:
Output Power -
Generators are marketed in output wattage. This wattage must be higher than the power required by the battery
charger. Please review power requirements stated in the user manual for your specific charger.
Output Type -
Minn Kota chargers require clean output power from the generator to prevent permanent damage. The generator must
replicate the power from a standard AC outlet in your home (sine wave output).
