There are three types of Circuit Breakers:
Type 1 is an automatic reset type circuit
breaker. This type of breaker may cause
component damage under a short circuit
condition. It will not damage the circuit, the
installation or present a safety risk
Type 2 is an automatic reset type circuit
breaker. Under a short circuit condition, this
type of breaker will not cause component
damage or damage to the circuit, the
installation or present a safety risk.
Type 3 is a manual reset
circuit breaker. This type of
breaker will open under a
short circuit condition and
must be manually reset.
BATTERIEs - HOUsE
House batteries are designed for use with 12
Volt DC operated lights and appliances.
House Battery Types:
Liquid Lead Acid (LLA)
Deep Cycle Batteries:
Deep cycle batteries are a type of Liquid
Lead Acid (LLA) battery. Deep cycle batteries
are best suited for use with 12 Volt operated
lights, appliances and inverter/converters.
Deep cycle batteries are designed to have a
majority of their capacity used before being
recharged. House batteries are located in
curbside battery compartment.

CAUTION
Tap water contains minerals which can
alter battery chemistry and ruin the
battery. Use only distilled water when
refilling the LLA battery.
CAUTION
Many types of petroleum based
products or battery by-products can
damage the paint finish. DO NOT
allow these types of chemicals to get
on the paint finish. If the chemicals
splatter on to the painted surfaces,
immediately rinse the surface using
plenty of water and a mild detergent.
Battery Maintenance
Liquid Lead Acid (LLA) battery cells
should be checked at least once a month. The
level should be above the top of the plates but
not overfull. The electrolyte level should be
approximately 3/8" below the well to allow
room for expansion while the battery is being
charged. Over-filling the battery will allow the
electrolyte solution to boil or gas out of the
battery cap. Remember to use only distilled
water to refill
the battery. A
battery with a
low electrolyte
level will
rapidly boil
out the water
once the plates
have been
exposed to air.
Periodically check the batteries for corrosion
and cracks. Replace vent plugs that are cracked
or missing. Keep the top of the batteries clean.
The accumulation of electrolyte and dirt
may permit small amounts of current to flow
between the terminals which can drain the
battery.
Check the battery connections for tightness
and corrosion. If corrosion is found, disconnect
the cables (mark cable locations) and carefully
clean them with a mild solution of baking soda
and water or an aerosol product specifically
designed for battery maintenance. Do not
allow cleaning solution to seep into the battery
and damage the electrolyte balance. Use water
to rinse the top of the battery and surrounding
area when done. Carefully hook the cables
back to the battery. The battery cable to battery
terminal connections should be metal to metal.
Coat the terminals with petroleum jelly or an
anti-corrosion grease.
