the electrical devices, disconnect the 230 V connection and retract the
antennae as a precaution.
8.2
Terms
Capacity
Capacity refers to the amount of electricity which can be stored in a battery.
The capacity of a battery is given in ampere hours (Ah). The so-called K20
value is normally used.
The K20 value indicates how much current a battery is able to dispense over
a time period of 20 hours without causing damage, or how much current is
required to charge a flat battery within 20 hours.
For example, if a battery can dispense 4 amps for 20 hours, then it has a
capacity of 4 A x 20 h = 80 Ah.
If more current flows, the capacity of the battery reduces proportionately.
External influences, such as temperature and age may alter the storage
capacity of the battery. Capacity details refer to new batteries operating at
room temperature.
8.3
12 V power supply
X
Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system.
Z
If you use the battery of the towing vehicle to provide power for the caravan,
bear in mind that the battery capacity is restricted. If you place too great a
burden on the battery, this may lead to starting difficulties.
Z
Always disconnect the electrical connection between the towing vehicle
and the caravan before the caravan is connected to the local power supply.
In order to carry this out, disconnect the plug from towing vehicle socket.
