Turning	off	the	controls	will	 not	reducethis 	 	risk. 1.10	 Boat batteries must be removed and charged on shore. To safely  charge them onboard requires equipment especially designed and UL  Listed for marine use. 1.11	 Connect	and	disconnect	the	battery	leads	only	when	the	 AC	supply	cord	is	 disconnected.	 1.12	 Do	not	overchargethe 	 	battery.
