9.8. Charging the Batteries
All DPSI RV Mini systems switch battery-positive, i.e. both batteries
are interconnected with their negative pole (ground) if connected to a
DPSI. Simultaneously charging therefore is not always possible
because most chargers with more than one charging output measure
the current in their negative line while interconnecting the positive lines.
Separate charging of the batteries is possible at any time when
connected to a DPSI RV Mini!
If one wishes to charge the batteries while connected to a DPSI RV
Mini a second cable must be soldered to the battery which serves as a
charging cable. This cable then is in parallel to the connection cable of
the DPSI RV Mini.
Simultaneous charging of both connected batteries while connected to
a DPSI RV Mini is only possible with Lithium Polymer batteries. LiPo
batteries may be charged in parallel because the DPSI discharges
these batteries absolutely identically and therefore having identically
discharge states. This means: both batteries are interconnected in
parallel for charging by means of a V-cable (positive to positive,
negative to negative). This makes it a "2S2P“-battery. Cell number
(voltage) stays the same, charging current may be doubled.
Corresponding charging cables are available from EMCOTEC.
If in doubt it is reasonable and safer to disconnect the batteries from
the DPSI RV Mini for charging. Just tilt the plug a little (to the side) and
pull it from its DPSI RV Mini latches with slight zigzag moves.
Hint:
It is possible to charge the battery when still connected to the DPSI RV Mini (e.g.
via an additional soldered charging cable). Only charge one battery at a time
(exception: LiPo batteries). Please observe correct polarity!
