A BatteryPlus35HA can be used to charge a LiFePO4 battery but will need to be
set using a Trek before use. At default the BatteryPlus35HA is set to Lead-Acid
chemistry.
The battery will charge faster when all loads in the caravan are small.
Note: Lead-acid battery may be Gel, AGM, Sealed, Wet or Lead crystal. Consult the
battery manufacturer for profile and maximum voltage and set this using the Trek.
Paralleling Batteries
When paralleling batteries together, all batteries MUST be
• of the same type and chemistry, e.g. deep cycle battery
• of the same capacity, e.g. 100 Ah
• of the same manufacturer
• fully charged before connecting them together
Figure 5 is a recommendation, an auto-electrician may wire this based on system
requirements.
