The
_ Aquarium, acclaimed as one

of the most respected
centres of marine studies
anywhere, will be presenting
an exciting, new feature
exhibit at the 1979 Van-
couver International Boat
Show, February 2 through
February 11.

Some of the Aquarium’s
collection of
fascinating creatures, live
and in replica form, will be
displayed “Behind the Seas”
at the arena level of the
Pacific Coliseum.

Displays, clinics. and
demonstrations from 250
dealers also will be'staged in
four. other Pacific National
Exhibition buildings at. the
1ith annual Boat Show,
sponsored by the Marine
Trades Association of B.C.

Entire proceeds from the
10-day show, produced by
Canadian National Sport-
smen’s Shows, are devoted
to -support of Canadian
conservation, projects and
outdoors education.

Most boaters are only too
familiar with ‘the problem of
keeping their boat battery
charged while their boat is
moored.

Without a charger, their
battery soon goes dead; but
connecting a charger, and
leaving it on continuously is
‘no solution either, as over-
charging can be just as
damaging to the battery as
allowing it to discharge. This
“trickle charging’’ is the
main reason for the short life
of so many marine batteries.

The Roton Auto Charge
provides a reliable, cconom-
ical solution to this problem.
Together with any standard
battery charger of up to 20

knowing the battery will
always be at full charge,
never overcharged.

. The Auto Charge is a solid
State precision voltage sens-
ing device, which operates
by continuously monitoring
the battery voltage, and

~ swtiching the charger on and
off, as required.

When the battery reaches
full charge, the Auto Charge
completely disconnects the
charger from the battery.

The battery can never
overcharge, as all chargin
current is stopped. When the
battery discharges slightly,
the Auto Charge turns on the
charger again, to bring the
battery up to full charge.
