The dryfill battery is maintenance-free. Maintenance-free means:
It is not necessary to check the acid level.
It is not necessary to lubricate the battery poles.
It is not necessary to refill the distilled water.
Even a maintenance-free dryfill battery must be charged regularly.
The charging condition of the living area battery can be checked on the panel.
Depending on the model, the living area battery is built in under the driver's
seat or the front passenger's seat in the seat console.
If the vehicle is connected to the 240 V power supply, the living area battery
and the starter battery are automatically charged by the charger module on the
transformer/rectifier. The starter battery is charged with a float charge of 2 A.
The charging current is adapted to suit the charging condition of the battery.
This ensures that it is not possible to overload the battery.
To make use of the maximum output from the charger module on the trans-
former/rectifier, switch off all electrical appliances during charging.
When the vehicle engine is running, the vehicle alternator recharges the living
area battery and the starter battery. When the vehicle engine is switched off,
the batteries are automatically disconnected from one another by a relay in the
transformer/rectifier. This prevents the starter battery from being run down by
electrical appliances in the living area. The starting capability of the vehicle is
thus preserved. The charging condition of the living area battery or the starter
battery can be read on the panel.
When the living area battery is changed, only use batteries of the same
type. A dryfill battery may only be replaced by a dryfill battery.
Do not connect the battery cables to the wrong poles.
If the starter battery or living area battery are disconnected, do not apply
the ignition. Danger of short circuit!
Before disconnecting or connecting the terminals of the battery, switch off
the vehicle engine as well as the 240 V and 12 V power supplies and all
appliances. Danger of short circuit!
To change the living area battery, proceed as follows:
Turn off the vehicle engine.
Switch off 12 V main switch on the panel. The indicator lamp will go off.
On the transformer/rectifier, move the battery cut-off switch to the position
"Batterie Aus" (battery OFF).
Disconnect the mains plug from the transformer/rectifier.
Switch off all gas appliances, all gas isolator taps and close the regulator
tap on the gas bottle.
There is a danger of short circuit when disconnecting the battery poles. For
this reason, first disconnect the negative pole on the living area battery and
then the positive.
Remove the living area battery from the vehicle.
Install new living area battery in the reverse order.
