Is it OK to charge the battery while pos/neg cables are still hooked up? I have a '96 Larson w/ a 3.0 Volvo Penta. I have always removed cables to charge but I wonder is it really necessary?

Re: Battery Charging

Just turn the battery switch in the "off" position. You don't want any draw while charging.

Re: Battery Charging

With the new electronics computer controled engines I would rather disconect the battery to be on the safe side. Does your owners manual have info on it? Your call<br /> Happy Holidays
