Electrical Fittings
When the motorhome is not connected to the 230 V power supply, the living area battery supplies
the living area with 12 V DC. The living area battery has a limited power supply only. For this reason,
electrical appliances such as the radio and the lights should not be operated for a long time without
using the 230 V power supply.
Position of the living area battery
See chapter 16.
Discharging the living area battery
The living area battery is discharged by the off-load current which some electrical appliances con-
tinuously require.
A completely charged 90 Ah living area battery will be totally discharged via a closed circuit current:
z
after approximately 9 months with the safety/drainage valve switched off
z
after approximately 1.5 months with the safety/drainage valve switched on
The self-discharge rate of the battery is 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 tem-
peratures: At 35 °C the self-discharge rate is approx. 20 % of the capacity per month.
At low outside temperatures the living area battery will also lose part of its charge capacity.
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.
Charging the living area battery
³
Only use the transformer/rectifier to charge the living area battery. For this purpose connect the
motorhome to a 230 V power supply system as often as possible.
V
Do not run the engine with the living area battery disconnected. Danger of short circuit!
V
Take note of the battery manufacturers users and maintenance instructions.
V
Devices with a maximum of 10 A can be connected to the sockets of the 12 V power
supply.
V
Depending on the model, the radio in the driver’s cabin is connected to the living area
battery.
V
Charge living area battery regularly.
V
Total discharge damages the living area battery. Charge for at least 48 hours after to-
tal discharge.
V
