curve.Thechargingperiodshouldbeatleast12hours.
Batteriesdonotfunctionfullyinlowtemperatures:they
thensupplylesselectricitytotheelectricalsystemand
consumelargeramountsofenergyfromthecharger.
Aresidualcurrentdevicedoesnotguaranteeanyprotec-
tionagainstthedangerfromanelectricshock.Itdoes
notprotectagainstpossibleelectricalaccidents.
Thetrippingtimefortheresidualcurrentdevice(RCD)
witharesidualcurrentof30mAislessthan0.1seconds.
Afterputtingtheelectricsystemintooperation,thefunctionof
theresidualcurrentdevicemustbechecked.Aftervoltagehas

Thischeckshouldbecarriedoutatleastonceamonthtoen-
surethattheresidualcurrentdevicefunctionsperfectlyincase
thereshouldbeafaultinthecurrent.
Devicesthatsetoffduringoperationshowthatthereisa
defect;theymustbecheckedand/orrepairedbyanelectrical
