properly.
Check the  battery fluid level  often, especially when  a
charger/converter is  being used.  Recharge  a battery
indicating a low voltage.  Determine the reason for the
discharge. Alternating battery usage with dual batteries    TheAmerican Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) has pub-

so the  owner of the  new boat  can easily install  new
equipment or troubleshoot the electrical system.  The
following table summarizes the color code system:
Batteries produce hydrogen and oxygen gases
when being charged.  These explosive gases
escape through the vent/fill caps and may form
an explosive atmosphere around the battery if
the ventilation is  poor.  This gas may  remain
around the battery for several hours after charg-
ing.  Sparks or flames  can ignite the gas and
cause an explosion.
