Rinnai Reu 58e

[kingsebi]

Hello,

I got a Rinnai Reu 58e on my new old boat. With the winter coming I thought I'd try if it works. Well it doesn't. No ignition because no battery. What type of battery does it need? I can't find it in the manual or elsewhere. Maybe somebody knows...

Kind regards,
Sebastian

Fairly sure that’s the same model as the one I have and if so I believe it’s a standard d cell, could be a c cell but I think it’s a D it’s been six years since I changed mine and it’s still going fine

Thanks will try. And if not I heard that cold showers are good for your circulation...

I have one and think it's a D as well. Again, it's a long time since I changed it.

With mine I needed to increase the pressure from the water pump to make it work.

With mine its not a D cell, it's smaller, like a big watch battery. Will take the dimensions to a shop next week. I suspect this thing hasn't been run in years. Is there something I have to do before trying?

Consider float testing it and fitting a calorifier/immersion heater set up.

It took me a while, but i think now I understood what you mean by float testing.
