Battery Care
Your camper is fitted with 100Ah AGM Batteries. Storage type batteries require periodical maintenance to perform
at their peak and extend their service life. The following is an outline on how to gain the best performance and
lifecycle from the battery fitted in your camper:
• Always use a quality charger that caters to the voltage requirements of an AGM battery. Absorption charging is
from 14.6v to 14.8v, float charging is from 13.2v to 13.8v.
• Never leave your battery stored at low volts. Before storing your camper ensure that battery/s is fully charged
and all power is disconnected/switched off.
• When possible leave the battery connected to a smart charger that will cycle and maintain the battery during
storage. If this isn’t possible check and charge at regular intervals to prevent excessive discharge.
• Never use unregulated solar power direct to your batteries.
• When in use try to keep your battery at or as close to maximum capacity as possible.
• Allowing your battery voltage to drop below 12.5v can permanently damage its performance and reduce its
service life.
RCD Protection
If your trailer is fitted with 240v input from mains power it will have an RCD safety device fitted between the mains
power inlet and your electrical system. If your trailer is fitted with a 240v inverter it will also include an output RCD
safety device. These units are fitted with a test switch to check they are working correctly. Suggested test interval is
monthly and/or prior to each trip.
