[C320-list] FW: Battery charger location

[John Frost]

The new MKII's have it under the port seating near the electrical panel,
but I would stick to wherever your wires are. I would keep away from the
batteries themselves to avoid hydrogen ignition worries. (Hydrogen will
explode with only 4 percent concentrations)

Be sure to fully seat the Battery Type switch when you set it.
The one on my Charles Charger was not and it fried the batteries with too
much voltage.

I suggest you mount it the same place.  The wiring is there.  Don't forget
to set the switch for the type of batteries that you are charging.

The battery charger on Hull #627 is located in the port lazzarette, attached
to the galley bulkhead.  Do any of the older or newer models have their
charger mounted in a different location? Also looking for recommendations on
the best place to purchase a Xantrex charger as my Promariner is tits
up...AGAIN!
