Page 22: Automatic Mode
To ensure optimal battery maintenance, it is important that the charging current is not abruptly stopped when the cut-off threshold is reached. For this reason, the EFOY continues charging the battery for up to three hours at a reduced current after the configured cut-off threshold is reached (factory default = 14.2 volts). -
Page 23: Switching Off The Fuel Cell Manually
The device operates independently of the battery voltage, and charges the battery until the cut-off threshold is reached. >14.2 V and I < 2.0 A (4 A for EFOY Comfort 210). batt Please note: The fuel cell can only start if it is connected to an intact battery and a filled fuel cartridge. -
