Battery charging function

A main charging cycle of the house battery is initiated in the following situations:

After a standstill of the alternator or mains failure
After falling below the reset voltage of 12.75V for lead batteries or 13.10V for LiFePO4 batteries for 30 s.

NOTE

In all charging phases (U1 phase to U3 phase), almost the entire possible charging current is available for the additional supply of DC loads without discharging the battery.

The charging characteristics for fully automated continuous operation without monitoring are referred to as modified IU0U characteristics (see charging curve in fig. 6, page 5).

1: Analysis phase

The battery is deeply discharged (>10%) . The battery charge is analyzed with increasing charging current.

2: I phase (Constant current phase)

At the beginning of the charging process, the empty battery is constantly charged with the maximum charging current (100%). The charging current decreases when the battery has reached a state of charge of 75% (90% for LiFePO4 batteries). Batteries with a voltage of 0 V are charged with reduced charging current until the battery voltage exceeds 9 V. The duration of the I phase depends on the state of the battery, the load from the DC loads and the state of charge. For safety reasons the I phase is terminated after a maximum of 15 h (in case of battery cell defects or similar).

3: U1 phase (Constant voltage phase)

The U1 phase starts when the battery is fully loaded. The charging current is reduced. During the U1 phase, the battery voltage is kept constant at a high level. The duration of the U1 phase depends on the battery type and the depth of discharge.

4: U2 phase (Trickle charging)

The U2 phase serves to maintain the battery capacity (100%). The U2 phase runs at lowered charging voltage and variable current. If DC loads are connected, they are powered by the device. Only if the power required exceeds the capacity of the device is this surplus power provided by the battery. The battery is then discharged until the device re-enters the I phase and charges the battery. The U2 phase is limited to between 24 and 48 h depending on the battery type.

5: U3 phase (Storage charging)

In long-term mains operation, the U3 phase prevents further discharge of the battery (e.g. during long breaks in use, seasonal operation or during winter storage), minimizes battery gassing and prevents plate corrosion.

6:Reconditioning

Twice a week, the charger switches back to the UI phase for a short time (max. 1 h) in order to revive the battery. This prevents any fatigue phenomena such as sulfation or electrolyte stratification.

Temperature sensor

With the temperature sensor connected, the battery control booster adjusts the charging voltage (for lead batteries) or the charging current (for LiFePO4 batteries) according to the measured temperature at the battery.

NOTE

• For lead batteries: Without temperature sensor connected, the charging voltage is referenced to 20^ .
• For LiFePO4 batteries: Without temperature sensor connected, the battery control booster does not work.

The charging characteristics are adjusted as follows:

• For lead acid batteries see fig. 7, page 5
• For AGM batteries see fig. 8, page 5
• For lead gel batteries see fig. 9, page 5
• For LiFePO4 batteries see fig. 10, page 5

DIP switch position (gray)	Function
AB	Charging current limited to 10 A (factory setting) Note: Recommended for motor homes.
AB	Charging current limited to 8 A Note: Recommended for small caravan batteries.

Interrupting the charging process

To interrupt the charging process in mains operation, pull out the power plug to disconnect the mains supply.
To interrupt the charging process in booster operation, disconnect the D+ terminal to interrupt the D+ signal of the alternator or the ignition lock signal.

Ensure the device is operating properly by regularly checking the indicator LEDs on the display panel.

Troubleshooting

Fault Possible cause Suggested remedy
The battery control booster does not work. The green "Power" LED does not light up.	Insulation faults, breaks or loose connections at the live cables.	Check live cables for insulation faults, breaks or loose connections. If you cannot find an error, contact an authorized service agent.
	Short circuit has been generated. The device fuse must be replaced by an authorized service agent after it has been triggered by excess current.
The battery control booster does not work. The yellow "Main Charging" LED flashes.	Over voltage protection of the house battery. Battery voltages too high (>15.5 V).	Reduce the connected voltages (<12.75 V). Reset the device by removing the control signal at D+/terminal 15. Switch off the motor and disconnect the device from the mains.
	Over voltage protection of the starting battery. Battery voltages too high (>16.5 V).	Reduce the connected voltages. The battery control booster restarts automatically when the voltage drops to the restart value (<16.5 V).
	Connection of defective charging systems.	Check and remove defective charging systems if necessary.
	Only LiFePO4 batteries: Temperature sensor is not connected.	Connect the temperature sensor.
Unusually long charging time. The yellow "Batt. I" LED flashes.	High temperature protection: The battery control booster switches to reduced charging voltage (12.8 V) when the temperature of the battery exceeds the cutoff value (>50 °C).	Check that the air inlets and outlets are not covered or obstructed. Allow the battery to cool down. The battery control booster returns automatically to full charging voltage when the temperature drops to the restart value (<48 °C).
	Low temperature protection (only for LiFePO4 batteries): The battery control booster switches to reduced charging voltage (12.8 V) when the temperature of the battery drops below the cutoff value (<20 °C).	Move the battery to a warmer location. The battery control booster returns automatically to full charging voltage when the temperature exceeds the restart value (>18 °C).
Unusually long charging time. The yellow "Batt. I" LED flashes slowly.	Low temperature protection (only for LiFePO4 batteries): The battery control booster switches to reduced charging current when the temperature of the battery drops below the cutoff value (<0 °C).	Move the battery to a warmer location (>0 °C). The battery control booster restarts automatically when the temperature exceeds the restart value (>0 °C).
The battery control booster stops the charging process. The green "Power" LED flashes slowly.	Shutdown by safety timer. The I phase has lasted too long (>15 h).	Reset the device by removing the control signal at D+. Switch off the motor and disconnect the device from the mains.
	Too many DC loads connected.	Reduce the connected DC loads.
	The battery is defective.	Replace the battery.
	Overheating of the battery control booster.	The battery control booster restarts automatically when the temperature drops.
The battery is no longer taking a charge or is unable to hold a charge.	The battery is defective.	Replace the battery.
Full charging current is not reached. The green "Power" LED is lit.	The house battery is already charged.	Load with powerful consumers.
	The battery terminals are not connected correctly.	Check the connections. Check the cable cross-sections and lengths (see table on page 19). Check the stripped cable ends. Check the voltages directly at the terminals.
	The battery is significantly sulfated.	Replace the battery.
	The DIP switch on the back of the display panel is set incorrectly.	Check the setting of the DIP switch on the back of the display panel (see chapter "Limiting the charging current" on page 23).
Display panel only lights up poorly.	Night mode is activated.	Switch off the night mode (see chapter "Setting the night mode" on page 22).
