Battery selector switch (NE 237 – rear view):
Disconnect the transformer/rectifier NE 237 from the mains before setting the battery
selector switch (Fig. 53/2) to a different position.
The option to switch over to a special battery type using the battery selector switch ensures
optimum charging of both battery types (lead-acid battery or lead-gel battery).
Selection of lead-acid battery: Set the battery selector switch to position "Pb".
Select the lead-gel or AGM battery: Set the battery selector switch to position "Gel".
Use a thin object for the changeover (e.g. ball-point pen refill).
For more information, see the separate instructions from the manufacturer.
10.4.2
Starter battery
If the vehicle is connected to an external 230 V power source (Chapter 10.1.1), an automatic
changeover from 12 V to 230 V / 12 V (power supply unit) occurs (Chapter 10.4.1).
10.4.3
Living area battery (special equipment)
Gel or AGM batteries are used as living area battery.
The electronic energy centre is equipped with a 70 A disconnect relay. This integrated protec-
tion disconnects the living area battery from the starter battery when the engine is switched off
so that the function of the starter battery is maintained.
The living area battery can be charged in two ways:
•
With the vehicle generator, i.e. while the engine is running.
All major appliances such as refrigerator, heater, water pump, etc. must be switched off.
The battery should then be "fully" charged at the 230 V mains.
•
By connection to the 230 V mains.
This charges the battery automatically. All major appliances must be switched off.
Regularly check the battery voltage with the control panel (Chapter 8.8):
Caution!
Damage to the living area battery
If the battery selector switch (Fig. 53/2) is set to the wrong position, the living area bat-
tery could become damaged.
Caution!
Discharging of starter battery
The capacity of the starter battery is limited.
The starting capability is affected if the power supply is provided for an extended period
of time via the constant plus of the vehicle.
Danger!
Deflagration
The use of acid batteries as living area batteries in the vehicle is not allowed. Detonat-
ing gas can be created during the load process and lead to a gas explosion. The instal-
lation area is not equipped for accommodation of a lead-acid battery.
