The body battery can be charged using three different methods
- Charging during the journey
During the journey, the body battery is supplied with charge via the generator of the chassis. This can vary greatly depending on the configuration, additional fittings and the appliances used. In most cases, we can only speak of maintaining the charge of the body battery. - Charging via shore power
As soon as your vehicle is connected to the 230 V socket, the body battery receives the charge from the transformer/rectifier, which has an integrated charger module with a charging current of 18 A (varies depending on the installation situation). A full charge can be achieved by this - Charging via solar
When using solar modules in conjunction with charge regulators, it is possible to feed this charging voltage in via the transformer/rectifier and send it to the body battery. This type of charging is highly dependent on the weather and the location (e.g. underneath trees), that is why here too we can only speak of an additional, supporting charge and not the main charge. Nevertheless, it helps to maintain the charging condition of the body batteries.
