Specifications

• Manufacturer Part Number: 700-00364
• Other Identifier: STLDC-35C
• Brand: Sphere
• Voltage: 12 V DC
• Wash power: 160 W; spin power: 130 W (supplier ratings)
• Calculated current at 12 V: approximately 13.3 A at 160 W and 10.8 A at 130 W. These are rating-based calculations, not measured average or peak current.
• Battery-use estimate: Coast to Coast quotes approximately 30 washes from a 100 Ah battery. This implies approximately 3.3 Ah per wash (40 Wh at 12 V), not a 3.3 A operating current. No test conditions are stated.
• Battery planning: the quoted wash count assumes the full 100 Ah is available to the washer. Usable battery capacity, other loads and the selected cycle affect the number of washes; 30 washes is not guaranteed.
• Power connection: pre-fitted 50 A Anderson-style plug. The manual requires a dedicated fused supply circuit rated at least 30 A, connected directly to the RV house battery bank; this circuit requirement is not the washer's normal current draw.

• Water Consumption: up to 78 L per full wash on the high water-level setting
• Water inlet pressure: 100-600 kPa
