8.1 Campervan battery
Leisure batteries are a deep cycling
rechargeable heavy duty 12v battery designed
to provide power for lights and other electrical
appliances. Your campervan has been fitted
with an Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) leisure
battery, installed below the passenger seat.
The battery is NCC approved battery scheme ‘A’
rated, and it is recommended that a good quality
leisure battery, maintained in good condition,
is always connected when the campervan
electrical system is in use.
It should be remembered that batteries suitable
for the electrical demands of a campervan
differ in design from those for use with a car,
and whilst the system may operate with a car
battery it is strongly recommended that only
a rechargeable leisure type battery is used.
Replacement batteries should be a proprietary
brand leisure battery with an 85Ah to 110Ah
capacity.
i
Note:
Replacement batteries should be
checked dimensionally before purchasing, to
ensure fitment within the seat base, as brands
vary in size. The battery fitted at manufacture
uses breather hoses to direct any expelled
gasses through the floor of the campervan,
and any replacement must include this same
feature. Any replacement battery shall be
of the same type and specification as that
originally fitted or as specified by Swift.
Under normal circumstances it should not be
necessary to remove the battery other than
for routine inspection of terminals. Due to the
position of the battery below the passenger
seat, dealer assistance is required to remove
the seat, replace the battery or and re-fit the
passenger seat.
WARNING:
When connecting the battery,
ensure that the correct polarity is observed
(black is negative and red/brown is positive)
and that the terminals are securely fastened.
WARNING:
Switch off all appliances and
lamps before connecting or disconnecting
the battery. Open flames and smoking are
prohibited around the battery compartment.
Your campervan has been fitted with an in-line
40 amp fuse between the battery terminal
and the power supply unit. Do not use a higher
rated fuse as this may cause damage to your
campervan.
To preserve the life of your leisure battery and
charger please observe the following:
1. Do not leave all 12v lights powered at the
same time as this will drain your leisure
battery more rapidly.
2. If all 12v lights must be powered together,
ensure the battery is ‘in-circuit’ and that the
battery charger is turned on.
3. For optimum performance use the
transformer/charger unit with a leisure
battery attached.
Please note the auxiliary battery or batteries
supplied with your campervan may not be fully
charged and should be charged for a minimum
of 24 hours before use.
Battery performance may be affected by a
number of things such as ambient temperature,
age, state of charge etc.
WARNING:
It is imperative that the battery
is correctly secured as any movement could
cause wear to the casing and cause electrolyte
to leak.
WARNING:
The passenger seat base
contains the battery, and other electrical
components. For your own safety do not store
anything other than the leisure battery in the
battery compartment
