General
The electrical energy necessary for your lighting and for
operation of all household appliances, water pump, WC, etc.
in your living compartment is provided by a 12 volt battery (2
on certain models).
All extra batteries are installed in addition to the basic vehicle
battery.
A coupling relay is installed between the two batteries:
- when traveling, this relay couples the two batteries
together so that they are recharged simultaneously.
- separate» the batteries when stopped. In this way, if your
unit battery is completely flat, you can still start your
vehicle engine.
The battery of living compartment is located:
- generally inside a special box in a rear comportment of
the camping car.
- under the front passenger seat.

Additional battery
Our motorhomes use two types of batteries: lead-based and
gel-based.
It is up to you to decide on their respective advantages; your
selection criteria, in particular utilization, will determine your
choice.
Depending on your choice, you muSt adapt the battery
charger to the type of battery.
