Even a fully loaded living area battery can be fully discharged by inactive appli-
ances (e.g. clock or indicator lamps) after an extended period.
Low temperatures outside reduce the capacity available.
The self-discharge rate of the battery is also dependant on temperature. At 20
to 25 °C the self-discharge rate is approx. 3 % of the capacity per month. The
self-discharge rate will increase with rising temperatures: At 35 °C the self-dis-
charge rate is approx. 20 % of the capacity per month.
An older battery no longer has the complete capacity available.
The higher the number of active electrical appliances, the faster the energy of
the living area battery is consumed.
In order to prevent fast discharge of the living area battery, the refrigerator is
operated on 12 V power supply only when the engine is running and when
there is an electrical connection between the towing vehicle and caravan.
Charging
Only use the power supply unit to charge the living area battery. Therefore,
connect the vehicle to a 230 V power supply system as often as possible.
The living area battery is recharged by the alternator of the towing vehicle if
the caravan is connected electrically to the towing vehicle and the towing
vehicle's engine is running.
Changing the battery
Changing the battery:
Release negative (-) terminal clamp.
Release positive (+) terminal clamp.
Remove the battery.
Put in a new battery.
Connect the new battery in the reverse order.

Z
Charge the battery for at least 48 hours after a total discharge.
Z
At temperatures below 0 °C, a living area battery consumes less power. At
approx. -15 °C, there will be no more power. The living area battery can no
longer be charged.
X
The acid in the battery is poisonous and corrosive. Any contact with the
skin or the eyes is to be avoided.
X
In the event of contact with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with clear
water.
X
Keep naked flames and possible sources of sparks away from the bat-
tery. Danger of explosion!
Z
When replacing the battery, only use the same type of battery (same
capacity and voltage, cycle stability).
Z
Do not cover the ventilation slots on the power supply unit. Danger of over-
heating.
