ELECTRICAL

If a battery is discharged to 50 percent every day, it will

last about twice as long as if it is cycled to 80 percent

DOD. If cycled only 10 percent DOD, it will last about five

times as long as one cycled to 50 percent. The most

practical number to use is 50 percent DOD on a regular

basis for the best use of e

ective storage and cost.

Note: Both voltage and specific gravity tests should be

performed with no load on the batteries and without any

supplied charging. Turn o

all draws and charging. Allow

the batteries to stabilize, and then proceed with the test.

House and Chassis Battery Bank Overview

House Battery Bank Example

Chassis Battery Bank Example

Do not use the motorhome with the coach batteries

disconnected.

CAUTION

This battery state voltage chart is used as an

example. Your specific battery manufacturer’s chart

may vary.

IMPORTANT

In addition, there is an upper limit. A battery that is

continually cycled down five percent or less will usually

not last as long as one cycled down 10 percent. At very

shallow cycles, lead dioxide tends to build up in clumps

on the positive plates rather than in an even layer.

This article provides a brief overview of the two di

erent

battery banks in a Newmar coach: House and Chassis.
The House Battery Bank is necessary to operate

everything a customer may require in order to live in the

unit. These batteries can be either 6 Volt deep cycle (all

diesel coaches) or 12 Volt deep cycle, depending on the

model and brand of the coach. Newmar house batteries

may be serviceable or sealed.
The Chassis Battery Bank supplies power to everything a

customer requires to drive the unit. Currently, Newmar’s

chassis batteries are all Liquid Lead Acid. Spartan and

Ford chassis have serviceable batteries and Freightliner

chassis batteries are sealed. The type and brand of

chassis battery may vary depending on coach year,

make, and model. Chassis batteries may need to be

disconnected and removed from the coach to maintain

proper electrolyte levels or perform routine battery

maintenance. House batteries may be either serviceable

Liquid Lead Acid/Flooded or AGM/Sealed Cell.
The chassis batteries on your motorhome are installed

and warranted by the chassis manufacturer. The coach

(or house) batteries on your motorhome are installed

by Newmar Corporation, but warranted by the battery

manufacturer. These batteries are used to operate the

12 volt items that are not a direct part of the chassis.

Depending on the coach, the batteries may be located in

the front of the coach under the front cap or on a pull out

tray in an outside compartment.
The chassis batteries are recharged by the vehicle’s

electrical system whenever the engine is running,

with added BIRD, BIM, or Charge bridge solenoids

the vehicle’s charging system will also charge house

batteries if parameters are met. A decline in the coach

battery voltage may be noticed while the chassis

batteries are being charged.

The converter will automatically charge the coach

batteries when the unit is connected to a 120 volt

outside power source. The chassis batteries are

isolated from the coach batteries, however with certain

parameters met the BIRD, BIM, or Charge bridge will

activate and allow charge to the chassis battery also.

This prevents the chassis batteries from being drained

by the interior 12 volt equipment, allowing ample voltage

for engine ignition.
