Charging
After using the battery must be recharged. During charging: by means of illuminated LEDs the indicator shows the
indication of the charging status and the charging process. (see paragraph 3.2).
For example: If the capacity of a X20 still remains 40% (the capacity is still 40% of 20Ah = 8 Ah), 12 Ah will be able to
charge. The charging time is then about 12Ah ,capacity to be charged / 4A (charging current) = 3 hours + ca. 1 hour
for the last part of the charging process.
We advise not to keep the charger connected to 230V for a long time (> 1 month) It is also not recommended to
charge the battery at temperatures below 0 ° C
The battery can also be charged by solar panels if they are connected to a charger that is suitable for charging
LiFePO4 batteries. We have the XS20s MPPT Solar charger in our program. Because of the MPPT technique this
charger gets the maximum efficiency from your Solar panels.
You can also charge the battery while driving. For charging the battery while driving, you need to use a
PowerXCharger XC3. (see paragraph 3.4)
3.4
PowerXCharger XC3 (OPTIONAL)
To charge the battery while driving, the PowerXCharger XC3 is available as an option. This converts boosts the
charging voltage of the car alternator into the right charging voltage for the PowerXtreme battery. Due to the limited
charging current, there is no need to install thick wiring. The XC3 also acts as a battery guard. If the terminal voltage
of the starter battery is too low, the XC3 switches the battery off so that the starter battery does not discharge
further.
Charging will resume as soon as the battery voltage is sufficiently high (for example, after starting the engine)
Some caravans already have a charging system on board. In most cases our PowerXtreme batteries can be
connected without any problems. Contact your dealer or our service-department for more information.
WARNING!
Stop the charging process if the battery becomes
too hot during charging (> 45
°C
–
50 °C).
