FAQ’S (continued)
Q: Is power lost when the CHARGE™ moves power back and forth between batteries?
A: No. The CHARGE™ will actually extend your day on the water by applying power where it is needed. It transfers
power between batteries very efficiently.
Q: I have an extra 12v battery for emergency which is hooked up with a battery selector switch, can
CHARGE™ work with this 5th battery?
A: Yes. Set the selector to BOTH and add up the AMP Hours of BOTH batteries. Enter that in the setup section of the
Vision, Android, or iPhone app. example: each battery is 75AH, enter 150 AH in the app for the engine battery.
Q: How long will it take to charge my batteries?
A: There are many variables (battery type, battery inefficiency, environmental factors, etc.) that effect battery charge
time. It is impossible to give a precise time. It could take anywhere from a few minutes to 8 hours.
Q: Will CHARGE™ get hot if I mount it in a closed hatch?
A: It may get hot however there are temperature safeguards that will protect your batteries and wiring. It is important to
always monitor the charge status using the C-Monster App.
Q: Can I still use CHARGE™ without a smartphone?
A: Yes but we highly reccomend connecting CHARGE™ to the C-Monster app using a smartphone. Without being setup
in the app, it will behave like a normal charger. If you don’t have a smartphone, we recommend borrowing one to
connect to the batteries once and set your preferences.
Q: Is the CHARGE™ serviceable?
A: No, there are no servicable parts within the CHARGE™
Q: Is the CHARGE™ portable?
A: No, the CHARGE™ is meant to be permanently mounted to a vessel.
