mobilized by a very fine fiberglass mat. No silica gel is necessary. This glass
mat absorbs and immobilizes the acid while still keeping the acid available to
the plates. This allows a fast reaction between acid and plate material.
Battery Maintenance is an important issue. The battery should be cleaned
using a baking soda and water mix; a couple of table spoons to a pint of water.
Cable connection needs to be clean and tightened regularly.
Battery Storage:
The following recommendations may be helpful if the battery is to be stored:
When storing the battery in a vehicle or vessel, it is not necessary •
to leave it on charge. Disconnect the negative battery cable. This
will prevent inadvertent discharging of the battery that may lead to a
complete discharge.
Fully charge the battery before putting it in storage and store in a cool •
place.
Boost charge the battery every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum •
battery life.

The converter/charging system is the interior low voltage electrical system
that enables you to use the interior lights, fans, pumps and 12-volt appliances
whether operating on self-contained battery power or 120-volt city power. The
12-volt light bulbs give off the same light as regular household bulbs, so that
when operating on self-contained battery power, everything works normally
except the 110-volt convenience outlets and 110-volt appliances. The con-
verter system is designed to maintain constant output voltages regardless of
the variances that occur in city power systems.
12V POWER CIRCUITS
The current in the converter system is 12 volts direct current (12VDC)
negative grounded. Power sources that supply 12VDC current to the system
are as follows:
A. Main charge line from tow vehicle •
B. Trailer Batteries •
C. Converter •
The power sources above are all electrically connected to the 12-volt distribu-
tion fuse panel that distributes current to interior branch circuits. The circuits
