SERVICING BATTERY.
On the PA - 2 8 RT-201T access to the battery is through the aft side of the baggage compartment. It is
enclosed in a thermoplastic box with a vent system and a drain. Access to the battery on the PA-28RT-201 is
through the engine cowl. It is enclosed in a stainless steel box with a vent system and a drain. The vents allow
fresh air to enter the box and draw off fumes that may accumulate due to the charging process of the battery.
The drain is clamped off and should be opened occasionally to drain any accumulation of liquid or during
cleaning of the box. The battery should be checked for fluid level but must not be filled above the baffle plates.
A hydrometer check should be performed to determine the percent of charge in the battery. All connections
must be clean and tight.
