Charging (Powered by Polestar)
WARNING!
Risk of life-threatening electrical shock.
- When connecting: Always connect the charging cable to the charging inlet of the boat before connecting it to the dock outlet.
- When disconnecting: Always disconnect the charging cable from the dock outlet, before disconnecting it from the boat inlet.
- Keep the charging cable away from the water. It can severely injure nearby swimmers.
- Do not alter shore power cable connectors. Use only compatible cable connectors and shore power receptacles.
- Be careful not to compress the charging cable. -Use only the designated charging cable.
NOTICE!
- Always use the charging cable supplied with the boat when using other than EV charger.
- Always charge the boat in an outlet that corresponds to the amperage of the boat. Candela assumes no responsibility or liability for any damages caused by charging in an outlet that does not correspond to the amperage of the boat.

Charging the battery
The charging inlet has a LED that displays different colors and flashing patterns to indicate various charging states:
| LED | Meaning |
|---|---|
| White - solid on | Courtesy light |
| Yellow - blinking | Charging process is interrupted |
| Yellow - solid on | Wait mode - waiting for charging to start |
| Green - blinking | Charging is in progress |
| Green - solid on | Charging is completed |
| Red - solid on | Action required! Boat is plugged in but it fails to start charging |
| Red - blinking | Charging cable release button function is blocked because the ignition key is turned off. This is to prevent the cable from being unplugged by an unauthorized person. Turn on ignition key to unlock the charging cable |
To charge the battery:
- In the user interface go to Charging page.
- Set target state of charge.
- Connect appropriate charging adapter to the charging cable.
- Plug the charging cable into the dock outlet.
- Wait for the charging cable to light up.
- Verify the correct amperage on the Info page on user interface.
- Connect the charging cable to the boat’s charging inlet to start charging.
- Monitor the battery’s state of charge on the boat’s user interface display.
- After charging is completed, or to interrupt charging, ensure ignition key is on and press the unlock button at the charging inlet, or select STOP CHARGING on the user interface display.
- Disconnect charging cable, first from the boat’s charging inlet, then from the dock outlet.
- Stow and secure the charging cable.
Galvanic isolator
The protective earth of the shore power is connected to the ground system of the boat through a galvanic isolator, to minimize the risk of ground current and galvanic corrosion.
