BATTERIES

Battery.charge

Battery life will depend on how it is used and maintained. Ensure that terminals are clean and greased to avoid sulphation. Also ensure that the

terminals are properly tightened.

When.to.recharge.your.battery

Charge the battery when the voltage reaches 12.2 V.
A battery recharge is necessary at least every three months.

Winterisation

The control panel lets you put your motorhome into winterisation mode

(see the control panel user manual). This mode stops all consumption.

This.winterisation.system.can.be.suspended.by:

Starting the engine

Connecting to an external 230 V mains outlet

It automatically returns to the winterisation mode a few minutes after you turn off the engine or disconnect from the mains power.
This means you can connect your motorhome to 230 V mains power using a timer switch set to turn on one day per month.
