Hi fellow 320 owners,

Does every 320 has the battery charger, battery seperators and fuses build on port side under an inaccessable place on the left ot the banking seats? Any tips to get access to the stuff? I can see the stuff, however, I can't access it :-( What is the trick?

Hi, 
everything is screwed to a swinging panel on the aft port side above the seats.
just remove the screw and it will tilt over the batteries stowage compartment.

there are also some relais (for example, windlass and  the one that commands the engine air extractor)

I don't recognize the swinging panel. I will take a pic how it is mounted in my Hanse, but, looks like it is different from yours.

Here's what I mean. The charger, battery isolators, fuses and grounding strips are all mountend under the yellow lines. From the right, under the seats, you can't access it, because the opening stops somewhere at the line of the beginning of the table and from the left side the opening is too small to get access, maybe if you remove the complete chart table, not sure, but, I doubt. So, it almost looks like it all has been mounted before the interior has been mounted in the boat. Am I missing something?

I see that the furniture is different from mine. 
My devices are  located vertically on the wall (behind the "your forward yellow line") and the cover where  they are screwed  tilts over the seat base horizontally.
if you can, post a picture without cushions.

Here a pic without cushions. As the red line shows, my stuff (charger, battery seperator, fuses etc) is build in under that part of the bank. Strange, because you can't access the screws and things....:-( Almost looks like it has been build in before the inner scale of the boat is placed.

You could try to remove the "puff" - screwed into the floor boards? There i probably a hole for access behind it. If not - you can create one without having it visible after...

I agree to take out the puff at first, there are only 3 screws in it.
If there is no hole, than check the battery bank. As I see it on your picture there is a screwed tray which I don't have (as I remember). My boat have the same swinging panel as cptgood have.

What was the solution?

No Solution yet. I havn't tried to remove the puff yet, will take a look into that tomorrow. That could work. Otherwise, I wait until I really need access to the charger and make a hole from above and make a hatch there.

Some things in Hanses are not soo smart, that's what I learned this year.

Removing the puff is very easy. it takes 1 min. I took it off just to get more space. If it doesn't work check the battery tray as well.

Okay, that's a good tip. The puff is removed in a minute indeed. There is no opening behind it, however, I can easily make an opening there and you won't see it if the puff is there. So, will do that. Thx!

It may be easier to remove batteries and unscrew the battery compartment?

Doesn't help. You still got no access to the fuses and battery loader. It's placed in an impossible place. Look at the previous pics.

Our arrangement is like Cptgood’s picture shows. I add another picture; it is made from the opening under the chart table. The end of the battery compartment is clearly visible.




Your arrangement is different, so I don’t know if this is the way to access that equipment. If you decide to remove the battery compartment, be careful with the batteries. There are many ways to have big problems when handling them.

Hi,
Just came across this post. About to install a windlass on my boat as it never had one and I plan on doing a fair amount of shorthanded sailing.

I just wondered if anyone has added extra batteries and if so where?

I've installd 4 x 100Ah AGM batteries onboard my 320 about 6 years back, and these have been evenly distributed between port and starboard benches. This has worked out very good, indeed. It also helped a lot to align the weight distribution as the boat tended to heel over to the port side.

Today, however, I would probably go for a LiFePO4 solution.

We have bought one of the last H320 built at all, if not the last one. 
There are no hull windows, but cupboards all the way long. 
Our charger is mounted below the chart table. 

I will try to upload some photos.
