Battery and battery maintanance
Your OKTO caravan is fitted with a 12 volt Deep cycle Leisure battery with a capacity of
102amp/hours. The battery is a sealed Lead/Acid battery and does not require topping up with
distilled water.
Check that the battery terminal clamps are always correctly connected to the battery.
The positive clamp (red wire) needs to be clamped to the (+) post of the battery. The negative clamp
(black wire) needs to be clamped to the (-) post of the battery. Always connect the positive clamp
first. When disconnecting the battery terminals. Always make sure that the battery box lid is fitted.
It is advisable to keep the caravan plugged into 220v mains while the caravan is being stored.
The Vectron Smart charger will manage the battery and ensure that the battery is kept in a fully
charged state. If you cannot store the caravan with the mains connected then it is important to
disconnect the battery terminals from the battery.
The caravan battery should however be charged up at least once a month for four days.
The battery should
never
be allowed to discharge fully. In the discharged state the lead plates of the
battery build-up a calcium layer. This layer thickens with time and if left to long may cause
irreverasble damage to the battery in which case the battery may need replacing.
