General safety instructions
The vehicle is a safe place during a storm (Faraday cage). However, to protect
the electrical devices, disconnect the 240 V connection and retract the
antennae as a precaution.
8.2
Terms
Off-load voltage
The off-load voltage is the voltage of the battery in idle condition, i. e. no cur-
rent is consumed and the battery is not being charged.
Closed circuit current
Some electrical appliances, such as the clock and the indicator lamps, require
continuous electric current, for this reason they are referred to as inactive
appliances. This closed circuit current flows even if the device has been
switched off.
Total discharge
Total discharge of the battery is imminent, if a battery is completely discharged
by an active appliance and by closed circuit current and the off-load voltage
falls below 12 V.
Capacity
Capacity refers to the amount of electricity which can be stored in a battery.
The capacity of a battery is given in ampere hours (Ah). The so-called
K20 value is normally used.
X
Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system.
Z
The battery must remain idle for a while before measuring. After charging
the last time, or after the last current has been drained by consumers, wait
approximately 2 hours before measuring the idle voltage.
Z
Total discharge damages the battery.
