3.3 Battery Charger
During stage 1 the battery voltage is increased
gradually while the current is limited to start the
charging process and protect the battery. At
stage 2 the voltage rises to 14.4V to deliver the
bulk charge to the battery. When the battery
is charged, the voltage is decreased at stage
3 to 13.6V to deliver a float charge to maintain
the battery in the fully charged state. The
charger can be left switched on continuously
as required.
The battery charger / power converter also
provides power to the leisure equipment when
the mains supply is connected. This module
supplies DC to the leisure equipment up to a
maximum of 25 Amps (300 Watts), therefore
the available power is distributed between
the leisure load and the battery, with the
leisure load taking priority as per the following
example:

WARNING:
Under heavy loads the
Battery Charger case may become hot.
ALWAYS ensure the ventilation slots have
a clear flow of air. Do not place combustible
materials against / adjacent to the charger.
3.4 Leisure Battery
A) Type / Selection
For optimum performance and safety it
is essential that only a proprietary brand
LEISURE battery is used and it is suggested
to select a battery from the NCC Verified
Battery Scheme with a typical capacity of 75
to 120 Ah (Ampere / hours). Depending on
the prospective use of the caravan the correct
type should be selected (A, B or C). A normal
car battery is NOT suitable. This battery should
always be connected when the system is in
use.
The PSU is configured to work with standard
lead acid leisure batteries, and in most cases
is also compatible with the latest range of
Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) batteries. Before
fitting non-standard batteries please check
that the charging profile described in 3.3 is
suitable for the type of battery by referring
to the battery documentation or battery
manufacturer.
Some vehicle installations can cater for two
leisure batteries connected in parallel. In these
cases it is recommended that two identical
batteries are used. The battery feed is fitted
with an inline fuse between the battery and
the electrical harness, and is usually located
immediately outside the battery compartment
or within 500mm of the battery. The maximum
rating of this fuse is 20A per battery.
B) Installation & Removal
Always disconnect the 230V mains supply
and turn the PSU green charger switch to the
off position (button out) before removing or
installing the battery.
When connecting the battery, ensure that the
correct polarity is observed (black is negative
[-] and red is positive [+]) and that the terminals
are securely fastened. Crocodile clips must not
be used.
!
WARNING:
Explosive gases may be
present at the battery. Take care to prevent
flames and sparks in the vicinity of
the battery and do not smoke.
