Maverick Campers Operations Manual 2021
B A T T E R Y C A R E
Your Maverick Camper is fitted with 100Ah AGM Batteries. Storage type batteries require periodical maintenance to
perform at their peak and extend their service life.
You also have the option of charging your batteries via the onboard battery charger to do this you will require access to
a 240-volt power supply, this can be a powered camp site or via a generator. The onboard battery charger will assess
your battery system and return the required charge in a short space of time, we utilize a smart charger to not overheat
the batteries and cause damage. During charging it is not unusual to see voltage reading as high as 14.6 volt however
shortly after the charger is disconnected the battery should return to a resting charge between 12.7v to 12.9 volts.
The following is an outline on how to gain the best performance and lifecycle from the battery fitted in your camper:
 Always use a quality charger that caters to the voltage requirements of an AGM battery. Absorption charging is
from 14.6v to 14.8v, float charging is from 13.2v to 13.8v.
 Never leave your battery stored at low volts. Before storing your camper ensure that battery/s is fully charged,
and all power is disconnected/switched off.
 When possible leave the battery connected to a smart charger that will cycle and maintain the battery during
storage. If this is not possible check and charge at regular intervals to prevent excessive discharge.
 Allowing your battery voltage to drop below 12.5v can permanently damage its performance and reduce its
service life.
When driving attach your 50-amp Anderson plug to the vehicle so the car can maintain the battery and as soon as you
start camping once again attach the solar or 20-amp charger to maintain voltage.
Note- never attach a warm 12 volt camping fridge to your camper trailer before leaving home as it will draw a lot of
power from the batteries to get cold. Always chill the fridge to optimum temperatures by using its 240 lead at home
first, have the food cold and when you are about to leave then switch over to 12 volts.
PLEASE NOTE – IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH CHARGING YOUR BATTERY YOU CAN NOT JUST KEEP USING THE BATTERY.
This will damage the battery to a point it will not recovery.
Batteries that have reading of less than 10 volts need charging immediately. Solar and chargers will need to be examined
and the battery checked before this stage to be inspected.
