Chapter 5
Each battery circuit uses a battery switch that provides
positive battery disconnect, isolates all circuits and aids in
protection against electrical fire and explosion.
At dockside a battery charger takes the place of the engines
alternator to produce direct current.
The shore power cord sends house current through the
battery charger and it is converted to direct current and
charges the batteries through the battery isolator just
as through the engine alternators. In this scenario the
main DC distribution battery charger switch needs to
be activated for the current to flow through to the ship’s
batteries.
Also, the optional generator away from the dock can send
house current through the battery charging system and in
turn charge up the ship’s batteries.
Direct current circuit protection is located in several areas;
dash, AC/DC distribution panel and engine.
The engine reset-able breaker powers the key switches
as well as the dash gauges. It does not control the dash
switches such as the blower, bilge pump, etc. Refer to the
engine manufacturer’s owner manual for location and
particulars regarding the engine breaker.
Refer to the technical chapter for specific wiring
schematics. Following is a brief description of selected
DC components.

BATTERY
The port engine cranking battery serves the windlass and
electronics circuitry. The starboard engine cranking-house
battery serves the generator and dash functions.
The DC distribution center panel under the cockpit circular
seat shuts the current off to each of the batteries through
a battery switch. When replacing batteries make sure
the correct size and capacity are used. Your Regal dealer
will be able to assist you in obtaining the correct battery
replacement battery for your boat.
Marine batteries are described and rated by the following
terminology:
A.Battery cold cranking performance rating- The discharged
amperes( pressure in a circuit) that a battery at 0 degrees
Fahrenheit can transfer in 30 seconds and still maintain 1.2
volts per cell or higher.
B. Cranking performance- The discharge in ampres that a
new completely charged battery at 32 degrees Fahrenheit
can continually deliver for 30 seconds, and maintain a
voltage at the terminals of 1.2 volts or higher.
C. Battery reserve capacity- A number in minutes that a
completely charged battery at 80 degrees Fahrenheit can be
continuously discharged at 25 ampres and hold a voltage of
1.75 volts or higher per cell (10.5 volts for 12 volt marine
battery).
Since your vessel’s battery system is one of the most
important on board systems, refer to the maintenance
section for proper battery servicing and storage procedures.
All battery terminals must be kept tight and corrosion free.
Battery electrolyte must be filled to the proper level to
ensure a longer battery life. All fastening hardware must be
kept tight to hold the batteries in place. Battery boots must
cover the entire positive terminal to prevent any possible
arcing from tools, etc.
