Auxiliary Battery (Option on Some Units)
All Jayco Travel Trailers are designed and built to accept a battery. A deep cycle marine
type is recommended as you need longer energy rather than cold cranking power. A
battery is required to operate the breakaway switch and is also available as a source of
energy when traveling and camping.
All battery packages require an “in-line” fuse and holder attached to battery for protec-
tion.
Maintenance on a battery is required for longer life. First, all terminals need to be kept
clean and free of corrosion. Second, a battery used daily or has the converter in operation
will consume water. Keep the battery filled as the cells cannot hold a charge when the
water is low. A deep cycle battery is NOT maintenance free.
In normal conditions a converter will not overcharge a battery unless (a) the battery has
low or dead cell(s), or (b) converter has a malfunction. The charging module on some
converters have a positive shut-off and on others there is a reduced charge rate to a very
low amperage rate.
A fully charged battery will read 12.7-volts DC and 1.265 specific gravity at 80°F. A
battery is considered discharged at 11.8-volts by electronic standards. When the voltage
drops below these levels, permanent damage will occur.
The interior lights will operate from the converter and/or auxiliary battery. Some lights
will have wall switches and other lights have switches in the lights themselves.
The RV battery is installed in parallel circuitry with the battery on your tow vehicle.
Both batteries supply power to your RV, so it is important not to discharge the tow
vehicle battery below the level of power required to start the engine. To prevent this
occurrence while parked, you may disconnect the wiring harness between the RV and
tow vehicle or install a battery isolator. When the engine is operating with the RV
connected, the vehicle’s charging system will charge both the vehicle battery and the
auxiliary battery.
