5.4.1.1 Supply battery
General The supply battery is of AGM type.
The supply battery supplies all switched on 12 V devices when
the system is not connected to an external power source. While
this is the case, the supply battery is continuously discharging.
NOTE
Only supply batteries of the same type and same
capacity can be switched in parallel or used as
starter/motorhome battery.
Battery compartment The stowing space of the bench seat in the side seating group
has enough room for up to two supply batteries. As standard,
each vehicle is equipped with one battery which is also secured
with a 50 A fuse.
AGM battery AGM batteries do not contain free sulphuric acid and can be
operated in any position. The acid cannot escape even if the
AGM battery breaks.
The list below provides a summary of the advantages of an AGM
battery:
Low maintenance (closed system)
High cycle stability, long service life
Low spontaneous discharge, long storage life
Leak-proof/no gas formation/no corrosion/no drip tray
High shock and vibration resistance
After its initial operation, the AGM battery must be recharged
monthly. Depending on the outside temperature and the actual
amount of discharge, the charging intervals can be adjusted
individually.
