To use; place the larger of the two plugs into the cigar lighter socket of your vehicle,
and the other plug into your baitboat's gold charging socket.An extension cable is included
with your charger to allow you to plug your charger into a 12 volt battery directly. 
As there is a possibility that a user may inadvertantly connect the crocodile clips 
incorrectly (black to + and red to -), a protective device is fitted which prevents any 
damage to either the boat or charging battery.  The battery may be any 12volt lead acid 
unit with a capacity greater than 15Ah, a leisure battery is ideal.
The bankside charger is designed to top up the charge on your baitboat battery during 
extended use,  not to charge the boat from flat and because of the reverse polarity 
protection the charger will only charge the boat to within about 0.6volts of the charging 
battery. It is therefore vital that the car battery has a good state of charge. 
You should ensure that your cigar lighter socket is 'live', by testing the cigar lighter 
before using the bankside battery charger.(some cigar lighters only work with the ignition 
on). Some vehicles have positive earthing in which case the extension cable will need to be
used directly on the battery.
The length of charge required will depend on how depleted your baitboat battery is, 
the state of the charging battery and the temperature. You are strongly advised to use the 
charger in conjunction with the Baitboat battery meter as this will allow you to judge the 
charging situation without guess-work. It is advisable to place the boat on charge as soon 
as it has returned from a trip.   
 
CAUTION: The charger may become hot if used for a long period of time, this is 
quite normal and you should take care not to handle the unit until cool.
