Im Trying to make sure that the battery is charging on my yamaha 115ETLJ (1986). I have the battery hooked up and not sure how to test that the battery is getting charged whyle the motor is running. Im going to eventually be using 2 Batteries with one of those switch things (Pic Included Below). Now I have just 1 battery hooked up to the motor right now without the switch thing. I am not sure how to make sure that the battery is charging once i start the motor. I have one of those micrometers or voltmeters that does ac/dc with a gauge on top. I know on cars what you do is test the battery with everything off and if you get a reading like 12v., when you start the car and test it in the same place you want to get something like 14v.-15v.. Im wondering if i just test it in that same manner? And also there are some wires that come out of my 703 control box. Now what im wondering is, are 2 of the wires that come out of that to hook up to the second battery so the second battery can charge at the same as the first? Really im not sure exactially how to hook up this system and that switch that i have i don't have any instructions for it. Just wondering if someone can help me out and explain how to hook everything up and how to use that Perko selector switch. Any Help would be greatly apreciated!!! Thanks in advance!!
