Disconnect the seven-conductor cable from your towing vehicle when
you are camping or stopped for an extended time (more than two hours),
to avoid discharging your car’s battery.
It is faster to charge your battery by starting your car connected to
the seven-conductor cable than to connect your trailer to a 120V
electrical source.
If the battery is discharged
In some instances, yourbatteriesmay be completely discharged. In this case, proceed as
follows.
1. Reduce demand on the battery by turning off all lights, fans or other equipment
operating on 12 volts that is not absolutely necessary.
2. Ensure that your refrigerator is not in 12V mode. You must reduce the load as much
as possible, so the battery can charge.
3. Connect the seven-conductor cable from your towing vehicle and idle the engine to
increase the charging current and thus reduce the charging time. Keep current
demand at a minimum until the battery is fully charged.
If your towing vehicle’s battery is dead or discharged, an external battery must be used to
start your towing vehicle’s engine. Youcan also connect to a 120-volt outlet to operate the
converter/charger and recharge the battery.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
In winter, your battery must be stored in a warm place on a piece of
wood or other substance to avoid direct contact withthe ground. During
storage, it must be charged occasionally witha battery charger
compatible with your battery.
