for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery, engine, motor or other flammable or explosive equipment.

Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery.  It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical part that may

cause explosion.

Remove 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 such items, causing sever burn.

Use the Minn Kota battery charger for charging and maintaining FLOODED / WET CELL, MAINTENANCE FREE, AND AGM / STARVED ELEC-

TROLYTE batteries only.  It is not intended to supply power to low voltage electrical systems other than for charging and maintaining batteries.

Do not use the charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances.  These batteries may burst and cause

injury to persons and damage to property.

NEVER charge a frozen battery.

3. PREPARING TO CHARGE

1) If necessary to remove battery from boat or vehicle to charge or maintain, always remove grounded terminal from battery first (if applicable).

Make sure all accessories in the boat or vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.

2) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged or maintained.

3) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.

4) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer ONLY AFTER the battery has been charged.

Adding water to a discharged battery may result in acid leaking out of the battery and causing injury to persons and damage to property.  Do not

overfill.  Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions; however, make sure to REPLACE ALL CELL CAPS after refilling so that water

evaporation is avoided.  Water will evaporate over time if cell caps are not replaced after refilling. For a battery without removable cell caps,

such as valve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions.

NOTE: The battery fluid level should be checked every 30 days

5) Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions while charging and recommended rates of charge.

4. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

1) The Minn Kota charger will only charge 12 volt 6 cell lead acid batteries.  Do not connect the output of the charger to any other voltage or

type of battery.

2) The charger’s DC output terminals are designed to be permanently mounted and connected to batteries.

3) Connect and disconnect DC output terminals only after removing the AC plug from the electric outlet.

4) The charger output leads must be connected with the correct polarity for the charger to function.  The RED lead must be connected to the

POSITIVE terminal of the battery and the BLACK lead must be connected to the NEGATIVE terminal of the battery.  

See section 6 under

“CONNECTING THE BATTERIES TO THE CHARGER” for proper connection procedure.

5. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

The Minn Kota battery charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock.  The charger is equipped with an electric AC power cord with

a grounded plug.  The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-

nances.

DANGER

– Never alter AC cord or plug provided – if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  Improper connec-

tion can result in a risk of an electric shock.

CAUTION

– To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, connect battery charger directly to grounding receptacle (three-prong).  An adapter should

not be used with battery charger.
