1.3 Battery charger
The batteries for the EF-S system are charged by the generator via the NATO connection
with a charging current of no more than 45 A when the tractor unit’s engine is running.
Figure 1-6
The intelligent charger measures the temperature of the batteries. This makes it possible to
adjust both the charging current’s amperage and charging voltage to the temperature. At a
low battery temperature, a higher amperage and voltage are required to keep the battery at
the desired voltage. At a higher temperature, the amperage and the voltage can be lower.
The charger can provide a maximum current of 45 A. The charger is protected by two fuses.
The input has an automatic fuse, while the output has a 60 A replaceable fuse. The charger is
sealed. The fuse may only be replaced after permission has been granted by TRIDEC.
