DO NOT allow corrosion to build up on connec-

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-

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.
