Main Batteries

WARNING! Do not cover the batteries with ad-
ditional insulation or covers or store any items
around the batteries. Additional insulation or
items around the batteries will lead to poor vent-
ing which could result in a fire and/or explosion
that may lead to personal injury or equipment
damage.

Deep-Cycle AGM
(Gel Cell) Batteries
Y53-1024 12/06
The Main Batteries are located on the driver's side of the vehicle behind the
sleeper compartment. The four Deep Cycle AGM (Gel-Cell) batteries power
all electrical system components on the vehicle EXCEPT the starter motor.
Caution: Do not replace the Deep Cycle AGM (Gel-
Cell) batteries with common lead acid batteries.
The Kenworth Clean Power System is designed
to draw to very low voltages which will signifi-
cantly reduce the life of a lead acid battery. Use
only PACCAR recommended Main Batteries. See
your Kenworth dealer for additional information.
NOTE: Because the Main Batteries power the en-
gine controls, you may experience a no-crank condi-
tion if the main battery voltage is below .5-Volt, even
though the Starter Batteries are fully charged.
