BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING
The living area’s battery.
The living area’s 12 V system is powered by a battery
located in a plastic box.
This battery is a so-called “leisure time” battery
The living area’s battery is of the AGM type. Regular use
is the best way of maintaining this battery’s condition. The
battery loses its charge when it is not used.
Any replacement battery must be of the AGM type. The
motorhome’s equipment is designed for this type of bat-
tery. Other battery types could damage the motorhome.
The vehicle’s starter battery
The vehicle’s 12 V system is powered by a starter battery
in the floor next to the driver’s seat.
The vehicle’s 12 V system is used for the vehicle’s traffic
functions.
Certain models have a heated mat on the floor under the
driver’s seat. The starter battery is accessed by taking up
the heated mat.
See the vehicle’s user manual for details and descriptions
of the vehicle’s 12 V system.
The living area’s battery.
Charging during travel
Throughout travel, both the vehicle’s starter battery and
the living area’s battery are being charged.
Using the 230 V AC battery charger
There is a battery charger installed in the motorhome.
The charger is permanently in circuit so that there is bat-
tery charging whenever 230 V AC is connected.
The battery charger “senses” battery charge requirements
and adapts the charging current to this.
First, the living area’s battery is charged. When the living
area’s battery is fully charged, starter battery charging
begins.
NB!
Do not cover the battery charger when it is connec -
ted. Risk of battery charger overheating.
Important!
See also the manufacturer’s battery charger
manual (supplied with the motorhome).
The battery charger.
WARNING!
Fire risk.
Use only 12 V AGM type bat-
teries in the motorhome’s living
area.
