1.2 BATTERIES CONTAIN ACID AND
PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES. SHIELD
EYES AND FACE FROM BATTERIES AT
ALL TIMES. WORKING IN THE VICINITY
OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY CAN BE
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE

from the battery at all times.
1.4 Always wear complete eye protection and
protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes
2. BATTERY REQUIREMENTS
2.1 The use of standard automotive batteries
is not recommended, as they are not
designed for deep discharges and will fail
quickly.
3. CONNECTING THE BATTERY
3.1 Position the second battery in close
proximity to the back of the Storm unit.
3.2 Before plugging the connector end of the
accessory battery cable into the Storm
unit, connect the battery terminals first.
3.3 Attach the lead with the red tubing on
the ring terminal to the positive post of
the battery and secure, then connect the
negative lead with the black tubing around
its ring connector to the negative post of
the battery and secure (Figure A).
NOTE: The Schumacher battery uses screws
to connect the ring terminals to the battery;
a different marine battery may have different
connections. The positive connection is
usually a 3/8˝ threaded stud, while the
negative terminal is a 5/16˝ threaded stud.
Make sure to correctly connect the red
terminal to the battery positive and the black
