Electrical
If vehicle is being stored while connected to
230v Mains Hook-up:
• Ensure that the leisure battery is connected
and the 20A local fuse(s) is connected.
• The isolator switch on PSU should be in the
'ON' position, however. the control panel
should be switched 'OFF'.
• If Alde system is installed, there is a frost
protection setting, which can be used. See
Alde user instruction manual.
• Vehicles can be left in this condition
for extended periods, with the charger
operating to maintain the battery. However,
periodic maintenance and inspection is
recommended, this should include the
battery condition.
If vehicle is being stored not connected to
230v Mains Hook-up:
• Charge the leisure battery for 24 hours prior
to placing motorhome in storage.
• Ensure the isolation button on PSU is in the
'OFF' position.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the
leisure battery or baterries.
• The battery should not be adversely affected
by winter temperatures but the level of
charge should be maintained to maximise
the life span of the battery. This can be
achieved using an automotive type battery
charger as and when required.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery negative
terminal. Check the charge of the battery
every three months. (See Vehicle Inactivity
section in the Fiat/Peugeot handbook).
