When charging the starter battery with an external charger, proceed as fol-
lows:
„
Turn off the vehicle engine.
„
Switch off the 12 V power supply on the panel. The indicator lamps or the
displays on the panel go out.
„
Switch off all gas appliances, all gas isolator taps and close the regulator
tap on the gas bottle.
„
Disconnect the starter battery from the vehicle (e.g. remove the battery ter-
minals). There is a danger of short circuit when disconnecting the battery
poles. For this reason, first disconnect the negative terminal on the starter
battery and then the positive.
„
Check that the external charger is turned off.
„
Connect the external charger to the starter battery. Pay attention to the
polarity: First connect the positive terminal "+" to the positive terminal of the
starter battery, then connect the negative terminal "–" to the negative pole
of the starter battery.
„
Switch on the external charger.
„
See the instructions for use of the connected charger for information con-
cerning charge period required for the battery.
„
See the specifications on the battery for information concerning its
strength.
„
Disconnect the charger in reverse order (the negative terminal first).
„
Connect the battery terminals again (first the positive terminal).
8.4.3 Living area battery
Z
Use only the built-in transformer/rectifier to load the living area battery. In
order to do this, connect the 230 V connection (CEE connector) of the
vehicle to an external 230 V power supply.
Z
After the trip, charge the living area battery fully.
Z
Before a temporary lay-up, charge the battery fully.
Z
When the living area battery is changed, only use batteries of the same
type and the same capacity.
Z
If there are several living area batteries, always change all the batteries
together. The batteries must
always be the same age and have the same
capacity.
Z
When changing the living area battery, use only batteries which meet the
minimum capacity of the charger. Observe the separate instruction manual
for the charger. Lower-capacity batteries will generate a great deal of heat
when they are charged. Danger of explosion!
Z
If the living area battery is replaced and the charging unit does not provide
at least 10 % of the rating of a new battery, install an auxiliary charging unit.
Example: With a battery capacity of 80 Ah, the charging unit must supply
at least 8 A charging current.
Z
Before disconnecting or connecting the terminals of the battery, switch off
the vehicle engine as well as the 230 V and 12 V power supplies and all
appliances. Danger of short circuit!
