Boat Safety Scheme Battery Boxes
Are batteries secure against excessive movement in any direction?
- All battery boxes, cradles, frameworks etc, must be free of signs of movement or possible movement.
- All batteries must be incapable of movement in excess of 10mm in any direction.NOTE - restraint against vertical movement is generally required. However batteries may be secured by means of a cradle or framework sufficient to ensure batteries remain secure under any condition up to 45° to the horizontal. Recesses, cradles or frameworks extending to half the height of the battery meet this allowance.
