section.
BATTERY ACCESS
The house/coach batteries (and chassis
batteries in certain models) are located in a
compartment beneath the interior entrance steps.
With the Residential Refrigerator, the house
batteries will be located in a separate exterior
compartment.

Unfasten the step retainer, then lift the step
upward and remove to service batteries.
BATTERY CARE
Lead-acid type batteries are electro-chemical
devices for storing and releasing electrical
charge. As such, they are simply an electrical
reservoir, not an electrical source. As soon as
energy is removed from the battery, it should be
replaced by the engine alternator or the coach
converter system.
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
inside the battery. This condition is called
“sulfating” and prevents the battery from either
releasing or accepting a charge. If this condition
occurs, the battery must be replaced.
If a battery does not contain at least 80%
charge during freezing temperatures, the
electrolyte can freeze and crack the battery case.
