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.
