BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Automotive batteries store chemicals that react and
convert chemical energy into electrical energy. When
electrical energy resources are used the battery drains
and becomes discharged. Directing charging current
to the batteries from the engine alternator (when
the motorhome's engine is running) or by using the
motorhome inverter/charger will recharge the coach
batteries and enable them to continue functioning
normally.

BATTERY PROBLEMS

Several conditions can destroy the battery's function
including sulfation and freezing.
Sulfation occurs when lead sulfate crystallizes and
deposits on the negative plates inside the battery. This
condition is caused when a battery is deprived of a full
charge for an extended period of time (30 days or more,
especially during warm weather). If sulfation occurs,
you will have to replace the battery.
Freezing can discharge, damage or destroy a battery.
Batteries must be maintained at a nearly fully-charged
condition to prevent the liquid electrolyte inside the
battery from freezing.
