PPP be
installed?
4. Is the length of
the cables
between the PPP
and the Mover
electronics
important?
5. My caravan is
garaged and
constantly
connected to
230V. Is this
harmful or should
the PPP be
disconnected?
1. PPP ageing
16
horizontally on the bottom of the
caravan.
Yes. They need to be as short as
possible (max. 1m); diameter
between 10 and 16 mm2. A main
power switch is allowed but not
required.
The mains adapter for the PPP
can remain constantly connected
to 230V.
VI. INTERESTING FACTS
As with all batteries the PPP (Li-
ion battery) will lose some
capacity as it ages. A high
storage temperature will
adversely affect the lifetime.
1. The PPP contains lithium iron
phosphate cells with a longer
service life than the lithium
manganese oxide cells as used in
laptop computers.
2. Lithium iron phosphate cells
have no thermal run-away effect
like lithium manganese oxide ion
cells, avoiding the possibility of
fire or explosions in case of short
circuit, overload, perforation,
overheating, etc.
