Electrical system
The K20 value indicates how much current a battery is able to dispense over
a time period of 20 hours without causing damage, or how much current is
required to charge a flat battery within 20 hours.
For example, if a battery can dispense 4 amps for 20 hours, then it has a
capacity of 4 A x 20 h = 80 Ah.
If more current flows, the capacity of the battery reduces proportionately.
External influences, such as temperature and age may alter the storage
capacity of the battery. Capacity details refer to new batteries operating at
room temperature.

12 V power supply
When the caravan is not connected to the 240 V power supply, 12 V power
supply is performed either by the starter battery of the connected towing
vehicle or by the living area battery (Power Pack SE).
The starter battery has a limited power supply only. For this reason, the elec-
trical appliances should not be operated for a long time without using the
240 V power supply when the engine of the towing vehicle is switched off.
If the caravan is electrically connected to the towing vehicle and the vehicle
engine is running, the living area battery is charged by the vehicle generator.
The 12 V power supply can be cut off with the 12 V main switch on the panel.
8.3.1
Living area battery (Power Pack SE)
Z
Depending on battery technology, capacity details have a conversion factor
of 1.3 to 1.7, which lowers the real capacity by this value.
Z
If you use the battery of the towing vehicle to provide power for the caravan,
bear in mind that the battery capacity is restricted. If you place too great a
burden on the battery, this may lead to starting difficulties.
Z
Always disconnect the electrical connection between the towing vehicle
and the caravan before the caravan is connected to the local power supply.
In order to carry this out, disconnect the plug from towing vehicle socket.
Z
Always disconnect the electrical connection between the towing vehicle
and the caravan before the living area battery is charged by means of a
charger.
Z
The dryfill battery must not be opened.
Z
Use only the built-in power supply unit to load the living area battery.
Z
Prior to commencing a journey ensure the living area battery is fully
charged. For this reason charge the living area battery for at least 20 hours
before commencing the journey.
Z
During the trip, use every opportunity to charge the living area battery.
Z
Charge the living area battery for at least 20 hours after the journey.
Z
Charge the battery for at least 20 hours before laying up.
Z
For long periods of inactivity (4 weeks or more), either disconnect the living
area battery or recharge it regularly.
Z
When the living area battery is changed, only use batteries of the same
type.
