Starter battery charging procedure (battery I)
Parallel circuit
Driving operation
During driving operation, the starter battery (battery I) is charged by the
generator of the vehicle. As long as the generator is running and there is a
voltage on the input D+ of the charger, the supply battery and the starter
battery are in parallel operation. The supply battery is also charged by the
generator. If there is no voltage at the D+ input of the charger, the parallel
connection is turned off if the voltage falls below 13.2 volt.
If it is not possible to reach the D+ control contact of the generator, an
automatic switch is integrated in the device, which establishes and separates the
parallel connection of the two batteries as a function of the voltage of the
starter battery.
Mains operation
(all voltage values with respect to a battery temperature of 20° C)
When connecting to the mains of 230 volt, the supply battery is charged first.
Once the supply battery reaches a voltage of 14.3 volt, it is switched in parallel
with the starter battery. If the charging current rises to its rated value due to a
user and the battery voltage falls below 13.2 volt, then the parallel connection
is automatically disconnected. The starter battery thus always remains ready to
start.
Solar operation
When connecting external solar cells, the starter battery is also charged
provided that the voltage of the supply battery has reached 14.3 volt. If the
voltage of the supply battery drops below 13.2 volt, the parallel circuit is
disconnected again.
