ABOUT THE BATTERYPLUS35-II BMPRO’s BatteryPlus35-II is a battery management system designed specifically for use in recreational vehicles. The BatteryPlus35-II operates from 100 to 240V AC mains power supply, towing vehicle auxiliary and solar panel to provide 35A of current to simultaneously power caravan loads and charge the caravan battery.
* By default, the BP35-II-HA is configured to charge lead acid batteries. WARNING The BP35-II-HA is designed for use with Lead Acid and LiFePO4 Lithium batteries only. Do not connect other types of Lithium batteries to the BP35-II-HA. BMPRO Invicta batteries are recommended.
DESCRIPTION OF PARTS Figure 1: BatteryPlus35-II. Compatible for all models 1. MAINS CABLE The BatteryPlus35-II is pre-cabled with a permanent mains power supply cord for use with 240V or 110V input power. WARNING Do not replace a damaged power supply cord. If the power cord is damaged, the BatteryPlus35-II must be discarded.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PERSONNEL Installation is to be carried out only by suitably qualified personnel. EARTHING As the BP35-11 is positive sensing for current monitoring, this allows for chassis earthing of both the battery and the negative of DC 12 V appliances. Note: All DC 12 V positive cables must be wired to outputs 1-14 or the 40A battery output connection.
VENTILATION, ORIENTATION AND THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS The preferred orientation is with the load connection at the bottom, as shown in figure 2: Recommended mounting holes and located such that there is a minimum of 80 mm free air space from all vented sides of BatteryPlus35-II. This allows for the lowest operating temperature of the internal electronics and the highest reliability of the product.
MOUNTING BatteryPlus35-II should be securely mounted to a suitably rigid surface, using four pre-drilled mounting holes. Dimensions are provided in Figure 3: Mounting Diagram. Figure 3: Mounting Diagram MAINS CABLE WARNING If the supply cord is damaged, it must not be replaced and the appliance should be scrapped.
REPLACING BATTERIES WARNING Before using a battery other than that which was installed at the caravan dealership, consult with the battery manufacturer for a detailed description of the installation, uses and maintenance of the battery. Verify that the type and capacity of the battery or batteries used are compatible for use with the BatteryPlus35-II.

Disconnecting a Battery from the BatteryPlus35-II Power off all loads connected to the BatteryPlus35-II, the easiest way is with the switch connected to the BatteryPlus35-II’s RSW input Turn off and remove all power sources (auxiliary/mains/solar) to the BatteryPlus35-II Disconnect the battery’s negative (black) terminal from the BatteryPlus35-II Batt- Connection Point Disconnect the battery’s positive (red) terminal from the BatteryPlus35-II Batt+ Connection point...
USING YOUR BATTERYPLUS35-II INPUT POWER SOURCES The BatteryPlus35-II can charge from auxiliary, mains and solar input sources. When multiple inputs are available to the BatteryPlus35-II, the BatteryPlus35-II uses power as specified in the tables below to provide the current to simultaneously power caravan loads and charge the caravan battery.
Page 19
Auxiliary WARNING To prevent your car battery from discharging when the vehicle’s ignition is off, please ensure the auxiliary is wired so that it is automatically disconnected in this condition The auxiliary input is designed for use with 12V DC power sources. The voltage of the DC power source connected to the auxiliary input must not exceed 14.8V.
BATTERY CHARGING AND MANAGEMENT WITH THE BATTERYPLUS35-II WARNING Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries. Charging a non- rechargeable battery may result in the battery catching fire or possible explosion. The BatteryPlus35-II can deliver up to 35A to simultaneously power loads and charge the caravan battery, with a maximum charging current of 20A for the BP35-II-SI and BP35-II-SR and 30A for the BP35-II-HA with the difference being reserved to supply 12 V loads.
Battery Health Preservation The BatteryPlus35-II preserves battery health by preventing the battery from excessive discharge. The BatteryPlus35-II will start a two-stage shutdown or Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD), powering down the BatteryPlus35-II outputs. This is to conserve remaining battery capacity until the battery can be charged. LVD MODE LEAD ACID LIFEPO4 (HA ONLY)
Heavily Discharged Batteries (Lead Acid) The BatteryPlus35-II is will not charge heavily discharged lead acid batteries. In normal use, and with the BatteryPlus35-II battery health preservation, batteries should never become heavily discharged. If your battery is heavily discharged, disconnect if from the BatteryPlus35-II and charge with a stand-alone charger.
BatteryPlys35-II yourself; this will void your warranty. If your BatteryPlus35-II requires servicing other than what is stated in this Owner’s Manual, please consult your BMPRO dealer MAINTENANCE Use a dry or moist cotton cloth to lightly remove dust or dirt from the BatteryPlus35- II.
