USING THE BATTERYPLUS35-II AS A POWER SUPPLY (BATTERYLESS OPERATION)
The BatteryPlus35-II will act as a power supply if the following conditions are met:
1.
A battery is not connected to the BatteryPlus35-II, and
2.
The BatteryPlus35-II is configured to charge Lead Acid batteries, and
3.
The BatteryPlus35-II is connected and powered by a mains power source, or
4.
The BatteryPlus35-II is connected and powered by an AUX input.
Power Supply mode allows you to control and power your caravan’s loads directly
from mains or AUX without the need to connect the caravan battery. When powered
from the mains, the BatteryPlus35-II provides an output voltage of 12.8V.
When powered from an AUX input, the output voltage will vary depending on the AUX
input voltage. The outputs may turn-o
ff
if input voltage is less than 12.6V (right at the
auxiliary input connector of the BatteryPlus35-II).
This mode of operation is unavailable with a solar power source.
Heavily Discharged Batteries (Lead Acid)
The BatteryPlus35-II will not charge heavily discharged lead acid batteries.
In normal use, and with the BatteryPlus35-II battery health preservation, batteries
should never become heavily discharged.
If your battery is heavily discharged, disconnect if from the BatteryPlus35-II and
charge with a stand-alone charger. Reconnect the battery once the battery voltage
has recovered to normal levels.
Heavily Discharged Batteries (LiFePO4)
The
BatteryPlus35-II-HA
can recover and charge a heavily discharged LiFePO4
battery if it is connected to a mains or AUX input. The internal Battery Management
System (BMS) of a LiFePO4 battery will turn o
ff
the battery voltage if it detects that
the battery is heavily discharged. The BatteryPlus35-II-HA will provide the voltage
to restart the LiFePO4 battery’s BMS and then commence charging of the LiFePO4
battery.
WARNING
The
BatteryPlus35-II-HA
cannot recover and charge a heavily discharged LiFePO4 battery
if it is only connected to a solar input. It must be connected to a mains or AUX input to
recover and charge a heavily discharged LiFePO4 battery.
