Domestic Battery Bank (with optional Twin Alternator Engines)
DANGER: EXPLOSION HAZARD!
NEVER SHORT OUT THE
BATTERY TERMINALS, INCLUDING WHEN CHECKING THE REMAINING BATTERY
CHARGE THIS WILL RESULT IN A SPARK AND MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR
FIRE.
WARNING: BURN HAZARD!
BATTERIES CONTAIN SULPHURIC
ACID. NEVER ALLOW BATTERY FLUID TO COME IN CONTACT WITH SKIN, EYES
OR CLOTHING. SEVERE BURNS COULD RESULT. MAKE SURE THE CORRECT
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT IS WORN.
•
Domestic battery banks that are too large create excessive loads on the domestic
alternator. Alternators running at maximum output for prolonged periods of time will
eventually fail; alternators that fail due to the battery bank being over the maximum
recommended size will not be covered by warranty.
Higher output alternators or TravelPower kits are available; if larger battery banks
are required discuss your individual power requirements with the boat builder.
•
The maximum domestic battery bank is calculated using the following:
- Live aboard; three times domestic charge alternator maximum output current.
- Hire fleet use; three and a half times domestic charge alternator maximum
output current..
Example
:
Hire fleet application fitted with 150A domestic charge alternator
3.5 X 150 = 525 Ampere/hour
