Batteries
All vessel DC equipment and specifications are
subject to change at any time as part of Regal’s
commitment to product improvement.
Equipment
shown here and information is up to date per the
manual printing date. Read the following pages
and view the accompanying photos relating to the
onboard battery system components as the battery
system is the “meat and potatoes” of the direct
current (DC) system.
Note that we will review various battery system
components onboard the vessel in multiple locations
although many of the items are located in the sump.
Battery Terminology Descriptions
Group- Batteries are divided into groups which
identify the height, length, and width of the battery.
This is useful information should a replacement
battery become necessary. Note that the 38 SAV
currently uses 31-A batteries for engine cranking
needs and 8-D batteries as house and house ac-
cessory deep cycle needs.
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)- This rating mea-
sures the cranking power of a full charged marine
battery having the ability to start at 32 degrees F.
Basically, the higher the rating the greater starting
power of the battery.
Reserve Capacity (RC)- As usage on the boat
increases so does the need for more reserve ca-
pacity. The reserve capacity represents the length
of time in minutes a new fully charged battery can
maintain the vessel’s electrical needs without the
engine running or in the event a stator failure.

Battery System Introduction
Note that periodic maintenance of batteries is needed
especially in warmer climates. Contact your closest
Regal dealer or marine professional for additional
information on battery system care.
Direct current is
stored in the ship’s batteries and produced through
the engine stators while the engines are running or
by the battery charger at dockside. The outboard
stators charge the batteries by sending current
through the main distribution panel relays, battery
switches and harnesses to the appropriate battery.
Normal DC voltage is between 12 and 15 volts.
Lower or higher readings could indicate a charging
malfunction or a weak battery. There is a special
output wire for output stator voltage that travels
from the alternator to each of the battery switches
(orange #4 wire).
Note that current specifications for alternator output
at WOT (wide open throttle) is 50-70 amps per each
350 Yamaha outboard and 90 amps per each 425
hp Yamaha outboard.
Information and models subject
to change.
