3.3 Batteries
All the batteries installed for engine starting or the domestic system are gel type batteries and as such do
not require any specific maintenance; the only precaution to observe is to maintain a sufficient level of
charge.
Their capacity has been calculated to respond to the power requirements of the on -board accessories. To
avoid any problems, the level of charge must be monitored and the batteries maintain ed.
The starboard battery bank is comprised of several 130 Ah batteries which form the service battery bank
and the starboard engine starter battery. (Figure 1).
The port engine has its own 130 Ah starter battery. In the event of failure of this battery, use the COUPLER
switch located in the port engine compartment
CAUTION

If you install any new electrical equipment, ensure that the overall electrical consumption of this
equipment is compatible with your battery capacity.

Never allow the two terminals of a battery to be bridged by any conductive object (tools, etc.)
-
Before replacing a fuse, always switch off the power to the circuit. Defective fuses must be
replaced with fuses of the same size
