o If you are using flooded cells, here are a few suggestions: 1. Leave the console door open when charging. 2. Never charge with a boat cover on the console or boat. 3. Unplug charger when you are going to fiddle with switches, etc. 4. If you smell something, be sure to air it out. o Invest in Lifeline, Odyssey. Optima or Trojan AGMs and quit worrying about it.
