Time to do battery maintenance on Ice fishing gear in storage.
A reminder to do a good charge on all Vexilar and Underwater Camera batteries in storage.
Charge fully and disconnect at least one terminal afterwords, so the power meter does not drain the battery.
This can take several days if very low, so as long as you have a Smart Charger system that will shut itself down just hook it up and check it in a few days.
(If in need of a good charger, I highly recommend the Vexilar V-410, or the V-400. Just hook up and go, self maintaining and safe.)
V-410 Charger Instructions
The V-410 is a fully automatic 1 amp digital charger. It also serves as a battery maintainer. After the charger bring the battery to a full charge, it automatically switches to a float mode. The battery is held at a full charge until you're ready to use it.
V-400 Charger Instructions
Please follow the instructions on this sheet when charging the battery. Be sure to recharge after each use.
Plug the charger into a standard 110 volt wall outlet. If you’re using a Vexilar Ultra Pack, be sure the Master Power Switch is in the ON position. The GREEN light will come on. You do not need to disconnect the flasher unit.
Connect the red clip to the positive battery terminal, or charging post, and the black clip to the negative terminal, or charging post. The GREEN light will go out and the RED light will come on.
Allow the battery to charge until the GREEN light comes back on.
This charger is a fully automatic three-stage, 1 Amp, charger. It will recharge a completely discharged 9 amp battery in 8 hours or less. When the light turns GREEN, it indicates the charger has switched to Maintenance Mode The battery voltage will be maintained at a safe level indefinitely. battery’s next use.
Do not use non recommended chargers, such as motor cycle chargers or auto chargers, as they will likely damage the battery's or over heat potentially causing a fire hazard.
Maintenance now will save you time and money latter.
