BATTERY INFORMATION
AUTOMOTIVE BATTERY ACCESS
The automotive (starting) battery is located in
the engine compartment.
COACH BATTERY ACCESS
The coach battery is located in an interior
battery storage compartment for convenient
access for periodic inspection or maintenance.
The compartment is located in the floor of the
cab, in the aisle area behind the front seats.
BATTERY STORAGE AND
MAINTENANCE
Lead -acid type batteries are electro-chemical
devices for storing and releasing electrical
charge. As such, they are simply an electrical res-
ervoir, not an electrical source. As soon as energy
is removed from the battery, it should be replaced
by the engine alternator or the RV converter sys-
tem.
If a battery sits unused for 30 days or more,
especially during warm weather, it can develop a
deposit of sulfate crystals on the metal plates in-
side the battery. This conditions is called sulfa-
tion or sulfating, and prevents the battery from
either releasing or accepting a charge. If this con-
dition occurs, the battery must be replaced.
If a battery does not contain at least 80%
charge
during freezing temperatures, the electro-
lyte can freeze and crack the battery case.
The two best defenses
against sulfating or in-
sufficient charge are to:
1. turn off the Auxiliary Battery switch to avoid
parasitic discharge
(the trickle discharge
caused by directly connected components
like LP gas detectors or digital clock dis-
plays, etc.), and
2. check the battery and recharge as necessary
at least once a month during long storage
periods. Turn the Aux. Batt. Switch off to
avoid electrical arcing when attaching or
detaching charger clamps.
