BATTERY
If necessary, install the correct battery for your motor and requirements.
Read the manufacturer’s use and maintenance manual.
CAUTION - Take special care:
Choose a no-maintenance certified marine battery.
Do not place the battery in the same compartment as the fuel
tank(s). If there is no other compartment, keep them as far apart as
possible with liquid proof separation between them and make sure the
compartment is well ventilated.
Place the battery in a water tight compartment thus protecting the
terminals and making it easier to control and recover any accidental acid
spill, dangerous both for the RIB and people. Maintain the exterior clean
and dry.
Always recharge the battery out of the RIB, in a well ventilated
place on land.
Avoid generating sparks or flame near the battery as it emits
flammable hydrogen gas during charging and for 15 minutes afterwards.
In case the wires are not long enough, avoid joining wires together.
Install longer, thicker wires.
Do not work with the battery over a charged A/C system.
