5.1.3 Batteries
The batteries give your boat 12 V DC power when used offshore.
Risk of electric shock, battery overheating, explosion, fire or harmful gases.
Do not block the battery ventilation.
There are several batteries on your boat, depending on the level of equipment you have chosen.
In the aft technical compartment:
Two engine batteries power up the engines on your boat. Each engine has its own battery.
The domestic service (house) batteries power up the other equipment on your boat.
The battery pack of the optional generator replacement system can include two to four batteries, depending on your options.
In the cabin technical compartment (under the bed in the front cabin):
The auxiliary battery powers up the bow thruster and the anchor winch.
Check the battery manufacturer’s manual for more details/information about the batteries and their maintenance.
The battery hub manages the batteries. If the domestic batteries are empty, you can use the start batteries as a backup by switching their parallel switches ON in the battery hub.
The emergency parallel switches for the start batteries can be used in an emergency but only after starting the engines. If a starting battery is empty, you can also use its emergency parallel switch to connect it in parallel with the domestic batteries.
