Can anyone advise me if by hooking up a mains connection to the MP it will charge both the leisure battery and the main battery simultaneously. If not, by using a normal battery charger connected to the main battery, will this also charge the leisure battery ? Any comments / advice gratefully appreciated. Thanks
Hi Andy, The following is copied from operating manual, hope it helps you.
As soon as the 230 V power supply is connected and the residual current circuit breaker is switched on, the battery charger automatically starts charging. It charges the additional battery and also supplies the 12 V power supply. When the battery is fully charged, its charge is maintained at an almost constant level.
The central control panel display shows the charge status of the additional battery as a bar graph . The bars flash one after the other during the charging process.
If the following conditions are fulfilled, the battery charger also charges the starter battery of the vehicle:
the voltage of the starter battery must be between 9.5 V and 13.85 V
the voltage of the additional battery must be at least 13.9 V
Note:
This is an auxiliary charge (4 A) which compensates for the self-discharging of the battery and which ensures that the vehicle can be started. The starter battery is not fully charged.
