10. External connections to the charger shall comply with the United States Coast Guard Electrical Regulation (33CFR183, SUB PART 1).
For safety and compliance reasons, we recommend that you follow American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards when rigging your
boat. Altering boat wiring should be completed by a qualified marine technician.
11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eyes, immediately flood eye with
running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
f) 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.
g) 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 a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
h) Use charger for charging batteries only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter-
motor application. Do not use battery 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.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12. PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If necessary to remove battery from boat or vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all
accessories in the boat or vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.
c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
d) Add distilled water to each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery
without removable cell caps, such as valve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
e) Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions while charging and recommended rates of charge.
f) The Minn Kota charger will only charge 12 Volt/6 Cell Lead-acid Batteries (Flooded, Maintenance Free, or AGM) and 12 Volt
Lithium (LiFePO
) Batteries (check battery manufacturer's specifications). Do not connect the output of the charger to any other
4
voltage or battery type.
13. CHARGER LOCATION
a) Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables permit.
b) Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
c) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery.
d) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
e) Do not set a battery on top of charger.
