Batteries - Regal LS4 Owner's Manual

Batteries

All vessel DC equipment and specifi cations are
subject to change at any time, as part of Regal's
commitment to product improvement. Equipment
information here is up to date per the owner's
manual printing date.
Battery Terminology Descriptions
One battery is standard equipment on your ves-
sel. A second battery is used when the dual bat-
tery switch option is chosen. All batteries include a
battery box or tray along with fastening hardware.
Be sure to periodically check maintenance style
batteries for proper electrolyte levels and use only
distilled water when fi lling cells.
Group- Batteries are divided into groups which
identify the height, length, and width of the battery.
This is useful information should a replacement
battery become necessary. Note that the LS & LX
vessels currently use 31 A series battery (ies).
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)- This rating mea-
sures the cranking power of a full charged marine
battery having the ability to start at 32 degrees F.
Basically, the higher the rating the greater starting
power of the battery.
Reserve Capacity (RC)- As usage on the boat
increases so does the need for more reserve ca-
pacity. The reserve capacity represents the length
of time in minutes a new fully charged battery can
maintain the vessel's electrical needs without the
engine running or in the event of alternator failure.
