House Batteries
House batteries are designed for use with 12 Volt DC operated lights, appliances and inverters.
These are available in many sizes and types.
Types of House Batteries:
• Liquid Lead Acid (LLA)
• Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)
• Gel Cell
NOTE:
Tap water contains minerals which can alter battery chemistry and ruin the battery.
Use only distilled water when refilling the LLA battery.
Slide Tray Operation:
The slide-out battery tray is secured in place
by a locking mechanism at the front of the tray.
To slide the tray out, lift up on the handle and pull
until the tray stops. To secure the battery tray,
push it back in until the tray latches.
Slide Tray Maintenance:
The battery tray slide will occasionally require
lubrication. When performing maintenance to the
batteries, remove old lubricant and dirt from the
battery tray slide with solvent, brake cleaner or
equivalent. Do not allow any of the cleaning solu-
tion or battery acid by-products to spatter onto and
damage the painted surfaces. Lubricate all moving
parts of the battery tray slide with white lithium
grease or Kwikee brand spray lubricant.
NOTE:
Driving without the tray secured can result in damage.
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 automotive detergent.
