Q What Batteries can be charged by a Minn Kota charger?
A Minn Kota Chargers can charge 12 volt 6 cell lead-acid batteries. Minn Kota D Series Chargers and Minn Kota Portable
Chargers work well with Flooded Lead Acid and AGM battery types. Minn Kota PC series Chargers have optimized charging
for Flooded Lead Acid, AGM and Gel battery types. You should verify with your Battery's Manufacturer the maximum Amp
input for your Battery. The Amp Hour or AH rating for your battery should be in the range indicated below for the per bank
amp output of the battery charger selected.
Q Why do the LED's on my Precision Charger stay illuminated for a period of time after unplugged from AC
power?
A This is normal and does not aff ect your batteries. It is simply a function of the Precision charging ensuring the charger is
disconnected prior to terminating the charge cycle.
The PC charger takes many complex and detailed measurements of the battery during a charge cycle. The software in the
charger processes this information to make the best possible decisions to give your battery the best charge on the market.
In some cases the measurements and software algorithms make it diffi cult to detect when AC has been disconnected and
therefore the charger may take a while to power down and turn off .
Q Will I damage my batteries if I leave the charger plugged in over long periods of non-use (like storage)?
A No. Minn Kota's on-board chargers fl oat the battery voltage between 13.2V and 13.5V in the "maintenance" stage (3rd
stage). This will allow you to keep your battery charger plugged in for long periods of time without "boiling the battery dry."
Note: It is important to check the electrolyte level approximately every 30 days. Batteries should be fi lled after charging,
and the electrolyte level should be even in all cells and below the fi ll well in each cell. If the battery plates are exposed before
charging, add just enough water to cover the plates. If the battery is overfi lled before charging, it may overfl ow during
charging.
Q Can I charge Lithium batteries?
A Minn Kota has not worked directly with any Lithium battery suppliers to determine if our charger are compatible with their
batteries. Most of the Lithium Battery manufactures post required charge stage information on their web sites.
Q Are any of the charger foot prints compatible with other chargers?
A Footprints are not compatible with diff erent charger models and sizes. The only exception is the MK212PC, MK318PC,
MK220PC and MK330PC have compatible footprints.
Q Are the chargers serviceable?
A There are no serviceable components inside the charger.
Q Can one bank be disconnected while charging batteries on other banks?
A Yes, The charger banks are fully independent chargers. Unused banks can be left disconnected from batteries. The output
of the unused banks are not energized. It is always a good idea to cover or tape the loose end to prevent shorting of other
electrical systems in the boat.
Q Can I use a portable generator to run my charger?
A Careful selection should be used when deciding on a portable generator for electronics. There are 2 important factors that
must be considered:
-
Output power: Generators are marketed in output wattage. This wattage must be higher than the power required by
the battery charger. Please review power requirements stated in the user manual for your specifi c charger.
-
Output type: MinnKota chargers require clean output power from the generator to prevent permanent damage. The
generator must replicate the power from a standard AC outlet in your home (sine wave output).
