NOTE

In all charging phases (U1 phase to U3 phase), almost the entire possible charger 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 U1 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.

DOMETIC MT BCB303020 - Temperature sensor - 1

NOTE

  • For lead batteries: Without temperature sensor connected, the charging voltage is referenced to 20 °C.
  • 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 lead gel batteries see fig. 8, page 5
  • For AGM batteries see fig. 9, page 5
  • For LiFePO4 batteries (13.9 V) see fig. 10, page 5

Fault Possible cause Suggested remedy

Booster mode does not work. The “Batt. II” LED does not light up.Voltage at D+ terminal <8 V.▶ Check voltage at D+ terminal.
Booster constantly switches between active and idle state.Starting battery voltage too low▶ The charging current is too high for the alternator. Reduce the charging power (see chapter “Reducing the current consumption from the starter circuit in booster operation” on page 29).▶ Check the starting battery and the alternator.
Weak D+ signal.▶ Check the D+ signal.▶ Alternatively use the ignition key signal (terminal 15) or install a D+ active simulator.
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 “Power” LED lights up.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 chapter “Determine cable cross-section” on page 23).▶ Check the stripped cable ends.▶ Check the voltages directly at the terminals.
The charging current is not set correctly.▶ Check the setting of the charging current (see chapter “Adapting the charging current” on page 27).
The battery is significantly sulfated.▶ Replace the battery.
Full charging current is not reached. The “Power” LED flashes in a 2 s interval.AC power limit function is activated.▶ Deactivate AC power limit function.

Fault Possible cause Suggested remedy

Full charging current is not reached in booster mode. The “Batt. II” LED flashes.Voltage at START+ <11 V.▶ Check voltage at START+. Increase the motor speed so that the battery control booster can regulate.
Cutoff relay present.▶ Adapt connection variant for vehicles with an existing cutoff relay.
DIP switch is set to “Limit Boo”.▶ Check the position of the DIP switch (see chapter “Reducing the current consumption from the starter circuit in booster operation” on page 29).
Control panel only lights up poorly.Night mode is activated.▶ Switch off the night mode (see chapter “Setting the night mode” on page 30).
