Position of the 95 Ah AGM ancillary battery
The ancillary battery is mounted in the front right passenger seat
console. The foot of the battery is attached to a base plate. The
seat, including the rotating assembly, must be dismantled in order
to subsequently fit or change the batteries.
Vehicle's electric system underneath the passenger seat
In all vehicles, the optional additional battery is mounted on
a base plate in the front left passenger seat console.
Operating and charging the ancillary battery
If the van is not connected to the 230V mains supply, the an-
cillary battery will supply the electrical system with 12V DC
voltage. Since the battery only has a limited capacity, the elec-
trical devices should not be operated for a longer period of time
without charging the battery or connecting the camper to the
230 V mains connection. Some electrical devices continuously
use standby current from the ancillary battery. This discharges
the ancillary battery.
The battery is charged from three possible input sources:
- the generator when the motor is running
- the Dometic PerfectCharge SMP439 charger (only via 230 V
power feed)
- if available, via a solar panel*
