1. Are Minn Kota On-Board Precision Chargers tested and approved for use with Odyssey batteries?
• All Minn Kota On-board Precision Chargers have been tested by Odyssey and found to properly charge all batteries rated from
7-114 Ah.
2. Are the Minn Kota battery chargers waterproof?
• Yes, the battery chargers are waterproof; however, they should not be operated while immersed.
3. Can I charge two batteries in parallel on one charger bank?
• Yes, but it is not recommended. It takes double the amount of time to charge two batteries and could result in an error being
displayed if the batteries take too long to charge.
4. Can I connect two charger banks to one battery?
• Yes, this will charge the battery almost twice as fast. However, the water in the battery is more likely to evaporate with higher
charging currents. Thus, the electrolyte level should be checked more often. The maximum safe charging current on most deep
cycle batteries is 20 amps. Consult your battery manufacturer for recommendations.
5. Can I extend the Minn Kota battery charger output leads?
• Yes, please refer to "Installing the MK-EC Battery Charger Extension Cable" section of the Manual.
