of battery.

Attach at least a 60 cm (24˝) long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery
cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
•
Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as
possible – then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger ring terminal to
free end of cable.
•
Do not face battery when making final connection.
•
When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of
connecting procedure and break first connection while as far away
from battery as practical.

A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To
charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
