7.6. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
7.6.1. 12V SYSTEM
The boat is equipped with 12 V AGM (gel) batteries. The number of batteries depends on the
equipment installed (standard 2). The batteries are charged via an alternator driven by the
boat’s engine. They can also be charged via a battery charger when the boat is connected to
an external 230 V supply.
CAUTION: In case of disassembly, first interrupt the minus cable.
If Webasto heating is installed, please follow the manufacturer’s Owner’s
manual.
CAUTION: It is recommended that any faulty original battery be replaces with a
similar GEL battery.
In case you fitted an ACID battery, is it obligatory to put it in an acid proof
box to prevent eventual acid spillage.
All electrical consumers are connected via control panel. Each consumer is equipped with an
automatic circuit breaker, a signal light and a switch to turn it ON/OFF. There are three main
switches, one for the engine system, one for the anchor windlass and one for the other
consumers.
The main switches are located in the aft port cabin.
On the electrical control panel, there are three TEST buttons. When pressed, they indicate
the operating voltage of the batteries, the fresh water level and the fuel level.
WARNING: Never work on the electrical installations without disconnecting the
power supply.
The batteries must be kept carefully fastened.
Do not store conducting objects near the batteries (metal tools).
Never modify an electrical installation.
When leaving the boat, switch off all main switches.
