7.2 Batteries
7.2.1 Engine battery
On Fiat/Citroën chassis, the engine battery is located
under the cab floor, on the left side.
7.2.2 Auxiliary battery
On all vehicles there is the provision for installing an
auxiliary battery.
We recommend to install a 100 Ah auxiliary battery,
hermetic without maintenance model.
The location for the battery, with protection fuse, is
situated in different places, according to the vehicle
model:
• Ecovip series: under the floor, accessible via a
hatch located near the living quarters door.
• Kreos series: under the floor, accessible via a
hatch located near the kitchen (provision for two
batteries).
Installation and removal of the auxiliary
battery
To install/remove the auxiliary battery, proceed as
follows:
Installation:
1) Make sure that all the appliances are disconnected
and the system is not energised.
2) House the battery inside the bay and fasten it by
the specific fasteners.
3) Connect the cables to the terminals, taking care to
respect polarities (red/positive - black/negative).
Removal:
1) Make sure that all the appliances are disconnected
and the system is not energised.
2) Disconnect the terminals from the battery poles,
taking care to protect the ends of the cables by the
specific caps.
3) Unlock the fasteners for battery positioning and
remove it.
When turning on the engine the vehicle’s alter-
nator automatically recharges also the auxiliary
battery. Recharge can also be achieved, always
automatically, through the connection to the
230 V network: the use of this source is recom-
mended whenever possible.
NOTE
When turning on the engine the vehicle’s alter-
nator automatically recharges also the auxiliary
battery.
NOTE
For maintenance of the engine battery, please
refer to the manual provided by the chassis
manufacturer.
WARNING
Do not leave the appliances turned on for a long
period of time without recharging the battery:
should the voltage reaches 10 V, all the appliances
will be automatically disconnected. That occurs in
order to avoid damages to the battery.
WARNING
If installing a second auxiliary battery or optional
equipment powered at 12 V, it is recommended to
install an additional power supply.
WARNING
Switch off all appliances and lamps before
connecting or disconnecting the auxiliary battery.
WARNING
For safety reasons, always protect the battery
poles and do not store metallic objects near the
batteries (danger of shortcircuit).
WARNING
If installing a second auxiliary battery, the
batteries cables must be positioned in such a
way that no hazards arise. The installation must
be performed by specialized personnel. Always
contact an authorised Laika workshop.
