4.2.7. Batteries

The battery system has been designed and built so that the boat’s engine starts even if its start batteries are dead, because then the service battery supplies the current. However, this function does not work the other way around.

The batteries are located under the aft cabin’s berth. The location of the batteries is presented in the section Electrical System. When you leave your boat, switch off the current from the main switch, but do not forget to check that all direct supply switches are on.

Remove the battery from the boat for winter storage. When removing the battery, detach the negative pole first. Use only AGM (absorbent glass mat) maintenance-free batteries in the boats. When disconnecting batteries, be careful not to touch both poles same time with metal tool.

Your boat is equipped with three batteries, of which the start battery supplies current to the engine and power steering, service battery for other appliances and equipment on the boat. There is also one battery for the bow thruster.

Use only AGM maintenance-free batteries in the boats.
