Batteries
The standard battery installation consists of two 105 Ah auxiliary batteries and one 105 Ah engine
battery. With the electric winch option, there are three 92 Ah AGM batteries. For a windlass and
bow thruster, add one or two 92 Ah AGM batteries at the front.
Their capacities have been designed to handle the power requirements of the on-board
accessories. To avoid any problems, it is necessary to keep a close eye on the maintenance and
correct charging of the batteries.
CAUTION!
● When you install new electrical devices, make sure that the overall consumption of these
devices remains proportional to the capacity of your batteries.
● Always disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal before the positive (+) terminal.
● Never allow a conductive object (tools, etc.) to bridge across the two battery terminals.
● When handling batteries, avoid any leakage of electrolyte liquid by keeping them horizontal.
Wear gloves and proper clothing to avoid any risk of contact with the electrolyte in the event of a
leak.
● In the event of a projection of electrolyte, thoroughly rinse the part of the body concerned and
consult a doctor.
Electric windlass
CAUTION!
When you use the electric windlass, it is essential to run your engine with a slight acceleration.
