Optional engine batteries are the
heartbeat of the on-board DC
(direct current) electrical system.
They supply the power to crank
over the engines and to operate
the electrical equipment through
the engine charging system. When
purchasing batteries one group 24
wet cell type is specifi ed for the
engine cranking circuit. Also, one
group 31 wet cell type is specifi ed
for the house battery.
The battery hardware features a
red boot to protect the positive terminal and a battery tray with hold
downs. Make sure the red (positive) boot is completely covering the
positive terminal of the battery. The negative (ground) terminal does
not require a protective boot. The terminal nuts should be checked
periodically for tightness and corrosion. In colder climates battery
removal for the winter months is to be considered. Trickle charge as
needed placing battery on wood in a well ventilated area free from any
gas or propane appliances.
Contact your closest Regal dealer for further battery information and
service schedules.
