Electrical Installations 07-29
The battery circuit breaker must be on when using the
vehicle home and whilst driving.
When the circuit breaker is open, the electrical input
stage will not engage automatically.
If the battery circuit breaker has been switched on for a
longer period of time, you may lose your customised radio
and/or sat nav device settings. These settings must then
be entered again.
The battery charger is directly connected to the ancillary bat-
tery so that the ancillary and starter batteries can be charged
even if the battery circuit breaker is switched on.
To keep the batteries charged even when not in use, it is
mandatory that the vehicle be connected to a 230V mains
connection every 6 weeks. Recharging should be carried out
for at least 24 hours.
Operating and charging the ancillary battery
If the motor home is not connected to the 230V mains supply,
the ancillary battery will supply the electrical system with 12V
DC voltage. Since the battery only has a limited capacity, the
electrical devices should not be operated for a longer period
of time without charging the battery or connecting the cam-
per to the 230 V mains connection.
The ancillary battery can be charged from the following po -
wer sources:
- the generator when the motor is running
- the CA 360 charger
- the 350 VA switching power supply
Items 2 and 3 can only be carried out using a 230V power
feed (only Renault).
The source of input with the highest input voltage supplies
the charge current for the connected battery.
