4.2.7.2 Winter storage
For winter storage, the batteries can be left on board only if they are fully charged.
A partially discharged battery can freeze and crack. Always disconnect the cable terminals from the
battery to avoid oxidation. When removing batteries, disconnect the negative pole first and make sure
that there are no flammable or explosive materials or liquids nearby. When putting the batteries back in
place, connect them in reverse order (positive pole first).
4.2.7.3 Cleaning the batteries
The top of the batteries needs to be cleaned regularly to avoid current leakage between the cells. If the
battery is located in a separate area, it is normally sufficient to clean it in the spring and autumn.
Make sure that the air holes in the cell plugs are open so that gas can be vented.
The terminals and cable terminals must be lubricated to prevent deposits and corrosion.
4.2.8 110/230 V system
You can choose to equip your boat with the optional 110/230 V AC system with a shore power
connection, which will allow you to use devices that run on the standard mains current.
The system obtains its power from an external supply on shore or from the jetty (shore power). In the
European market the system used is 230 V and in the American market 110 V.
The system functions when a shore power cable has been connected to the shore power socket
connection.
1. Turn off the shore power switch before connecting or disconnecting the cable.
2. Connect the shore power cable to the boat before connecting it to the shore power.
3. Disconnect the shore power cable from the shore power before disconnecting from the boat.
4. Close the hatch of the boat's shore power connection.
The system's main fuse is located in a separate control panel. The system includes a battery charger,
which starts charging batteries automatically when the boat has been connected to shore power. The
location of the components is presented in the section Electrical System.
The shore power system needs to be checked at least biannually. Always disconnect the shore power
cable when the system is not in use. Metal casings of installed electrical equipment must always be
connected to earth in the boat electrical system. Use electrical equipment equipped with earth protection
only.
