Ensure that there is a good ventilation from the battery area. Correct installation is the most critical factor in ensuring the safe use of the BatteryPlus35-II. If every consideration of these instructions has been satisfied, the BatteryPlus35-II will be safe to operate.
This product is rated to draw between 20 and 30 amperes from a 12V vehicle outlet, depending on your model of BatteryPlus35-II. Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle can supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open. This can be determined by making sure the fuse in the vehicle which protects the outlet is rated higher than the maximum ampere drawing current for your BatteryPlus35-II.
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. The BatteryPlus35-II is available in a range of models to suite any RV and battery management needs.
COMPATIBLE BATTERY TYPES The BatteryPlus35-II is rated to charge battery banks of up to 600Ah in capacity and of the following battery types: BATTERY Valve-Regulated (VRLA) Lead Acid Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) Lithium LiFePO4 Table 2: Batteries compatible for use with the BatteryPlus35-II * By default, the BatteryPlus35-II-HA is configured to charge lead acid batteries.
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. Ensure that the AC mains source always has an earth terminal. 2. LOAD TERMINAL BLOCK – COMMON NEGATIVE CONNECTION Negative wire connection return point for the caravan’s 12V loads.

BMPRO Trailsafe (+) Heaters Stereo memory WARNING If braking systems are already connected to the +BRK output, non-braking loads must use a separate output. 16. SYSTEM STATUS INDICATOR Indicates the operational status of the BatteryPlus35-II. More information https://www.caravansplus.com.au...
For DC 12V appliances that may draw greater than 15A, such as inverters, both positive and negative must be wired directly to the new battery negative on the BC300 to ensure the current is seen by the BatteryPlus35-II and the correct information displayed, such as the State of Charge and Time Remaining.
The BatteryPlus35-II will automatically restart once it has cooled to an acceptable level. WARNING Do not install the BatteryPlus35-II in a compartment where flammable material is stored, such as petrol or LPG. More information https://www.caravansplus.com.au...
If the supply cord is damaged, it must not be replaced and the appliance should be scrapped. The BatteryPlus35-II is pre-cabled and fitted with a mains plug. Ensure that the connections to the mains supply are in accordance with the national wiring rules, and that the earth connection is installed.
LOAD, BATTERY AND EXTERNAL DC INPUT CONNECTIONS Up to 14 loads may be connected. Loads are attached using female spade Quick Connects (QC). See Figure 4: Quick Connect Dimensions. All load negative returns must be connected directly to the BatteryPlus35-II negative terminals only. 6.8mm Figure 3: Quick Connect Dimensions More information https://www.caravansplus.com.au...
MAIN CHARGE CONNECTION The following inputs / outputs require fork type connections: Aux+ / Batt+ / Batt- / BRK+ Max. 8.2mm Min. 3.6mm Figure 4: Fork Terminal Dimensions CARAVAN BATTERY CONNECTION WARNING A fuse must be installed in the positive connection of the battery. This fuse MUST be as close as possible to the battery.
Verify that the type and capacity of the battery or batteries used are compatible for use with the BatteryPlus35-II. After fitting a new battery to the BatteryPlus35-II, make sure that it is configured in your battery monitor.

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.
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 23
Fuse protection is required at the auxiliary’s positive input and to protect the wiring from the source. The rating on this protective fuse must not exceed 40A. Mains The BatteryPlus35-II mains power cord can accept power from either a 100 to 240V 50/60Hz voltage outlet. Solar Input on the BatteryPlus35-II-SI The BatteryPlus35-II-SI features an in-built PWM charger.
Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries. Charging a non-rechargeable battery may result in the battery catching fire or a 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 BatteryPlus35- II-SI and BatteryPlus35-II-SR and 30A for the BatteryPlus35-II-HA with the difference being reserved to supply 12V loads.
12.8V Table 7: LVD Mode voltage thresholds The BatteryPlus35-II will enter the two stages of LVD, ECO Mode and Storage Mode, when the caravan’s battery voltage falls below the LVD thresholds. Note: BRK+ Battery Output (40A rated) is not controlled by the LVD mode.
LiFePO4 battery. USING THE BATTERYPLUS35-II AS A POWER SUPPLY (BATTERYLESS OPERATION) The BatteryPlus35-II will act as a power supply if the following conditions are met: A battery is not connected to the BatteryPlus35-II, and The BatteryPlus35-II is configured to charge Lead Acid batteries, and...
The electronic fuse will act if the BatteryPlus35-II detects a current greater than the current rating of the terminal. The Load Output Status Indicator will be flashing red and the System Status Indicator will be solid red.
II. Do not use alcohol, thinners, benzene or any other chemical cleaner as these products may degrade the housing surface. Do not allow any liquids to enter the housing. Be sure to turn off all power sources to the BatteryPlus35-II and disconnect the battery before cleaning. STORAGE Once your adventure is over be sure to charge the caravan’s battery and power off...
