Batteries
The battery system comprises 3 140 Ah auxiliary battery (standard) and 2 additional 140 Ah
batteries (optional) and one 140 Ah battery for starting the engine.

appliances remains within the capacity of your batteries.
● Always disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal before the positive (+) terminal.

● When handling batteries, keep them horizontal to avoid spillage of electrolyte. Wear
gloves and protective clothing that will prevent any risk of contact with electrolyte in the

thoroughly and consult a doctor.
