BATTERY MAINTENANCE
•
Check the battery and charging system condition before going to sea, and regularly when
stored.
•
Ensure the
Battery Isolator
is turned off when leaving the boat.
•
The battery on the boat must be inspected periodically for any signs of corrosion or
deterioration. Keep batteries clean and dry.
•
Disconnect and remove the batteries when the boat is in winter storage (cold weather
conditions) or long term storage.
•
Batteries will self-discharge over time, and allowing the battery to
deeply discharge may significantly shorten the battery life. Use a
trickle charger/ maintenance charger to keep the battery in a
charged condition. The accessory socket on the console is a
continuous circuit suitable for the attachment of a low current
trickle/ maintenance charger. Follow the charger instructions.
Battery Disconnection and Removal
To remove the battery cables:
•
Turn off all items drawing power from the battery
•
Turn the
Battery Isolator
switch on the main centre console is turned to the ‘Off’
position
•
Remove the negative cable first, then the positive cable. To replace the cables first replace
the positive cable, then the negative cable.
Ensure the battery space is well ventilated at all times
When charging and connecting/disconnecting a battery ensure that no water or
metallic objects can inadvertently come into contact with the terminals
Do not disconnect the batteries while the engine is running; alternator and wiring
damage could occur
