The leisure battery in the Auto-Trail Expedition can be charged in two ways:
1. Vehicle Alternator: The battery is charged by the vehicle's alternator when the engine is running.
2. On-board Battery Charger: When the vehicle is connected to a suitable mains supply via the hook-up cable, the on-board battery charger charges the battery. To do this: - Locate the charger power switch on the Power Supply Unit (PSU) and switch it to "OFF" before connecting the mains supply. - Connect the supplied orange hook-up cable to the vehicle's mains hook-up point and a suitable mains power source. - Switch the charger power switch back to "ON" after connecting to the mains supply.
Connecting to the mains supply also activates the 230V socket and mains appliances.
