Lift Hatch Battery

Does anyone know what battery operates the lift hatch on a 342? When I try to lift the hatch voltage drops to 8.5 vdc. Everything else works fine with 0 issues. BTW the hatch works fine with a jump pack.

House bank, flip the breaker in the panel to make sure.

@reneechris14 thanks I could also look at the gauge on the panel.

Vdc actually Ray. But it sucks lots of current so not surprising but 8 is low.

Problem found. The dc negative contact block on the back wall in the bilge is corroded and needs to be taken apart and cleaned.
