House Battery - Powers 12 Volt DC lights
and accessories inside motorhome.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) - Indicator
light.
LLA (Liquid Lead Acid) Battery
-
A type of battery that uses liquid as
an electrolyte. Periodic maintenance is
required, such as cleaning the connections
and checking the electrolyte level.
Low Point Drain - The lowest point in the

when the water tank is filled.
OEM - Term for Original Equipment
Manufacturer.
OHM - A unit for measuring electrical
resistances.
Ohm’s Law -
Expresses the relationship
between Volt (E), amperes (I) in an
electrical circuit with resistance (R). It can
be expressed as follows: E = IR. If any two
of the three values are known, the third
value can be calculated by using the above
formula.
Potable Water - Potable water is water
