With this situation in place if the marina is “hot”
your zincs will protect both boats and your zincs
will rapidly be depleted. The green safety ground
wire is usually a contributing player to the above
problem.
Note that it is recommended that if necessary plug
your extension into the vessel power inlet plug for
just enough time to charge the batteries.
Do not leave the cord plugged in for extended peri-
ods of time as you may risk damage from galvanic
corrosion.
For additional information contact your closest Re-
gal dealer or marine professional.
Shore Power Inlet- Battery Charger Cord
The shore power inlet is part of the battery charger
option. Use a 15 amp 3 blade extension cord of
the correct size and length to compensate for
current draw and voltage drop. Normally the lon-
ger distance traveled requires a higher amperage
extension cord. Read the extension cord tip page
earlier in this chapter.
If in fi eld charging is needed at most marinas today
a 25 or 50 foot 15 amp 3 bladed outdoor exten-
sion cord will fi t the needs of your on board battery
charger. Make sure the outlet you are plugging into
features 3 inputs and is a GFCI protected outlet.
Note the earth ground rounded blade which pro-
vides a path for the “earth”ground wire. It reduces
the risk of electrical shock and fi re.
AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH!
DUE TO ELECTROCUTION!
DO NOT OPERATE THE BATTERY CHARGER
WITH A TWO BLADED ADAPTER PLUG
OR EXTENSION CORD.
