8.4.1 Living area battery
When the vehicle is not connected to the 230 V power supply or the 230 V
power supply is switched off, the living area battery supplies the living area
with 12 V DC. The living area battery has a limited power supply only. For this
reason, electrical appliances such as the radio and the lights should not be
operated for a long time without using the 230 V power supply.
Discharging The living area battery is discharged by the closed circuit current which some
electrical appliances continuously require.
Z Further information can be obtained in the manufacturer's instruction
manual.
Z The living area battery may not be opened.
Z Use only the built-in power supply unit to load the living area battery.
Z After the trip, charge the living area battery fully.
Z Before a temporary lay-up, charge the battery fully.
Z For long periods of inactivity (4 weeks or more), either disconnect the living
area battery or recharge it regularly.
Z When the living area battery is changed, only use batteries of the same
type and the same capacity.
Z Before disconnecting or connecting the terminals of the living area battery,
switch off the engine of the towing vehicle as well as the 230 V and 12 V
power supplies and all appliances. Danger of short circuit!
Z If the living area battery is disconnected and the caravan and towing
vehicle are connected electrically, do not apply the ignition. There is a
danger of short circuit from exposed cable ends.
Z If possible, begin the trip with a fully charged living area battery. Therefore,
charge the living area battery before starting the trip.
Z During the trip, use every available opportunity to charge the living area
battery.

It is not necessary to check the acid level.
It is not necessary to lubricate the battery poles.
It is not necessary to refill the distilled water.
Even a maintenance-free battery must be charged regularly.
Z Total discharge damages the battery.
