The battery charger only works if the batteries have been
inserted with their poles in the right direction.
Total discharge protection
If the battery voltage of the ancillary battery sinks below
10.5 V a relay shuts down all equipment using power.
If the total discharge protection is activated turn off the
12V main switch to avoid an additional discharge of the
ancillary battery.
The minimum charging period of 12 hours must be exten-
ded accordingly if equipment using 12V is switched on
during charging.
7.4 Function of the power generating unit
Position of the battery charger
The charger is located under the passenger seat.
Operation with 230V mains electricity
After the mains connection has been plugged in, both the
modular and the vehicle battery will automatically be charged
by the battery charger in the motor home (even if the Control
Panel has not been switched on).
Charging procedure
The charger represents the current status of technology and
charges in three phases in accordance with the so-called

curve. The charging period should be at least 12 hours.
Batteries do not function fully in low temperatures: they
then supply less electricity to the electrical system and
consume larger amounts of energy from the charger.
