Electrical system When the caravan is not connected to the 230 V power supply, 12 V power supply is performed either by the starter battery of the connected towing vehicle or by the living area battery (electric kit). The starter battery has a limited power supply only. For this reason, the elec- trical appliances should not be operated for a long time without using the 230 V power supply when the engine of the towing vehicle is switched off.
Electrical system Electric kit (special equipment) Scope The following components belong to the electric kit: Battery 12 V, 90 or 110 Ah Battery charging unit Panel Booster The multi-function power supply (EVS) is a product of the most modern switched-mode power supply technology.
Electrical system 8.5.3 Charging procedure for the living area battery Power operation If the mains connection has been made, the EVS works as a power supply during mains operation. The EVS has an electronic protection against incor- rect polarity. The charging current is only supplied if the battery is correctly connected and a minimum voltage of 1.5 V is present.
