1. Tum off the House/Coach Battery Disconnect switch to avoid parasitic discharge (the trickle
discharge caused by directly connected components like propane gas detectors or digital clock
displays, etc.)
2. Check the battery and recharge as necessary at least once a month during long storage
periods. Tum the House/Coach Battery Disconnect switch off to avoid electrical arcing when
attaching or detaching charger clamps.
NOTE: Do not leave the shoreline plugged in during storage. Follow regular battery inspection
and maintenance.
Further precautions are:
Check the state of charge periodically to avoid discharge or sulfating.
To ensure that
the battery will always accept and hold a charge, follow these simple maintenance
practices:
Make sure the batteries always remain securely clamped in the battery tray.
Make sure battery cable clamps are tight on the terminal posts and are free of
corrosion.
Neutralize corrosion buildup or acid film on top of battery by washing with a baking
soda/ water solution. Rinse with clear water.
NOTE:
Make sure vent caps are on securely to prevent baking soda solution from entering the battery
and contaminating the electrolyte fluid
