CAUTION !
H.2. Batteries
The boats’ batteries (Figure 3-53 (RB-HS), Figure 3-54 (RB-S)) consist of
three 12-V gel-cell type batteries mounted on the port side under the forward
crew seat. On the RB-S, a sliding battery tray (Figure 3-54) has been
incorporated to provide battery accessibility for maintenance. On both boats,
the batteries are vented (Figure 3-55 (RB-HS), Figure 3-56 (RB-S)) to the
exterior, port aft cabin bulkhead to prevent accumulation of charging gases.
One additional battery vent is installed on the RB-S on the forward port
cabin exterior bulkhead just aft of the heater exhaust.

Batteries (RB-HS)
If the 12-VDC power supplies trip off-line, secure the electronics and allow power supplies
to cool. Visually check the individual or the main 75-amp breaker to see if it has tripped.
Isolate the circuit (breaker off/open) until the system can be serviced.
