Battery Inspection and Care
The 12-VDC electrical-power system consists of four 6-VDC batteries wired in a series-parallel combination to
provide a final 12 VDC system (Figure 7-5) providing up to 450 Ampere-hours (A-hr) of service.
As the batteries contain a significant amount of electrical energy, they must be handled with due diligence and
care. Some of the routine precautions include:
Caution
Disconnect the 120 VAC electrical power cord and the negative terminal from the coach
batteries BEFORE working on the Phaeton electrical system.
Warning
Remove rings, metal watchbands, and any other metal jewelry before working around
batteries. If any metallic object (tool, jewelry, etc.) contacts the positive battery
terminal or any connection made to that terminal AND also contacts the negative
terminal or any of its connections, a SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHORT will occur which could
result in an explosion, fire, and/or personal injury. Lead-acid batteries contain diluted
sulfuric acid which can be dangerous; avoid direct contact with any battery fluids. Wear
eye protection.
Caution
If the Phaeton ever requires any welding operations on the frame, first disconnect the
chassis batteries. Failure to do so will destroy all of the chassis computer system.
When batteries are not used for extended periods of time, they will gradually lose their electrical charge.
Therefore, it is necessary periodically to recharge the batteries to increase the operational lives of the batteries.
It is also necessary to check the external condition of the batteries on a regular basis. Look for cracks in the
battery case and cover. Check the vent plugs and replace them if they are cracked or broken. Keep the battery
clean.
