Caution
e
To avoid voltage drops and loss of performance, keep the cable as
short as possible and avoid joins.
For this reason avoid additional switches, plugs or multi-way adapt-
ers.
Disconnect the refrigerator and other electric loads from the battery
before connecting the battery to a quick charging device.
Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device.
➤ Before starting up the device for the first time, check whether the operat-
ing voltage and the battery voltage match (see type plate).
➤ Determine the required cross section of the cable in relation to the cable
length according to fig. 4, page 4.
