October battery check
Prevent breakdown, damage and unsafe situations
As the boating season draws to a close and we compile the numbers, we see once again that a large portion of the requests for help can be traced back to the electrical installation. It often starts innocently with a battery that just stops charging properly, but regularly ends in boats that are stop starting, total failure Or have to deal with dangerous battery problems.
To get ahead of that, we have a special promotion for members in October. Our mechanic will come on board with you for a professional control of the batteries and the charging current. In addition, we do a thorough visual inspection of the electrical system. Thus, we detect hidden risks on before they cause breakdown, delay or damage next season.
A reliable electrical system means comfort and safety. Every year we find boats with exploded batteries, fused cables or malfunctions that were easily preventable with a timely check.
What does the action entail?
We come on site and perform the following checks:
- Measurement of each battery (condition and tension)
- Checking charge voltage alternator (during engine operation)
- Monitoring charging voltage battery charger via shore power
- Battery terminal inspection (oxidation, loose clamps, damage)
- Inspection visible cables and connections (wear and tear, aging, heat spots)
Terms
- Price: €99, - including call-out costs and maximum 1 hour on board for the full check.
- Direct replacement possible: Should batteries need to be replaced, we usually do so right away.
- Replacement advantage: Be two or more replace batteries, then we will charge the previously paid €99 in full deduction.
Do I need this check?
Yes, if you want to avoid failures. 26% from our deployments has to do with problems in the electrical system. These are often preventable with a timely inspection. This will prevent:
- Unable to start at inconvenient times (lock, busy port, vacations)
- Failure of on-board equipment and navigation
- Heat problems due to poor connections or faulty charging voltage
- Premature battery damage - even with relatively young batteries
- Fire or development of hazardous gases (H2S gas)
