Autonomy, the phrase that has always been 'in vocabulary of the campers,
But how much autonomy I have if I use the Webasto?
But if I get on the satellite consumption?
But if I put three batteries in parallel I have more power?
But to run the air conditioner I have to install those panels?
Stop! Let's stop here 'and do a bit' of clarity on some points.
habits and ideas of the camper are like fingerprints of the hand, all, different from 'the other, I certainly do not have to be able to get them to agree, but maybe some' clarity on the choice of accessories not bad.
Speaking of battery life I am referring to the more 'important cioe'l'elettricita' within the cell.
It is usually supported by a rechargeable battery commonly called services, with the engine running gets charged through the alternator.
but truly believe that the service battery to charge and always right?
Let me explain, the values \u200b\u200bof a battery are three ': VOLT, and that' the tension with which the battery is born, AMP, and that 'the capacity for autonomy, and the inspiration you need for maximum effort in a very short such periods. starts engine and large absorption. Often this when you look at the tension after a long trip, note that the value and 'approximate to 12 / 13 volt, but even so, after a few hours the light is weakened, the TV goes out, the Webasto is locking this because if the battery and 'on overload? No battery is not 'on overload but only has a good voltage and amperage is not good.
This value, as already mentioned is the capacity for autonomy that receives a battery, battery, and 'as a container, imagine having to use 100 gallons of water in a container with a revert to' internal 30 pounds of sand, the result will be that of water it will use only 70 liters.
Stupid as it? But now we move this comparison in a battery. If in the 'shell of a 100-ampere battery has built a sulfation by 50%, what will remain will be to eat only the remaining 50% of these counts are nominal. because in reality 'is worse, as there are users who do not just value drops below a certain voltage, they leave you without mercy'.
What is Sulfation?
Sintezizzo explanation to a minimum, this process is created inside the coil and 'insufficient due to the continuous charge and its mismanagement, which in time generates a kick in the plates to' internal thus preventing the current to take place to recharge.
Why sulfation?
I am noticing more and more frequently on this issue means a new generation, and this not because they are born bad, but well equipped with many accessories that require a lot of power we see only a few examples:
electronic injection
-Electric windows, central door locking
-Ventilation and air conditioning in the cabin
Four-H7 halogen lamps, from 55watt, two always on
Super-cooling fan motor,
-Stereo
maybe from 150-liter refrigerator that runs on the road to 12 volts
So the traditional charging system will never be able to satisfy the maximum demands of the battery service, since they already committed to supply power to other accessories. Hence because the batteries never have enough power and go sulfation in a short time.
then? Are you still convinced that your batteries to recharge anytime, right?
Solution
There are very effective products on the market, are some houses that produce them, these accessories are installed in 'facility charging their duties and 'to directly manage the battery charge services with a much higher voltage, 14.5 volts.
This high voltage makes it faster and more completely recharge the batteries, thus avoiding the sulphation due to the partial charges of the traditional system.
The system only works on the road, and is fully automatic, and 'has a very refined electronic logic that manages the entire system, and power curves according to the needs of the battery.
Why mount it?
longer battery life over time
battery fully charged even after journeys average
Faster charging with the engine idling.
More efficient are current for the autonomy of the dual battery, but even here we must be careful installation.
I've seen systems with two or three batteries mounted in parallel, but if the traditional hard to charge a battery, designed with two or even three batteries in parallel, the effect would seem valid at first, but soon after disaster time.
The installation must be done with the installation of a separator of charge, ie a system that manages the current mode alternative and electronic, always giving a higher voltage for each battery (as explained above), and does not create dialogue between the two sources, although of the same voltage and amperage are never the same.
I hope that these little notions may serve to make best use of your camper!
Soon we will talk about other types of accessories, but for now enjoy your weekend. Good
current at all.
