The ‘Storage Mode’ uses an 8-stage charging profile consisting of Desulphation (AGM only), Soft Start, Boost, Absorption, Battery Test, Equalize, Float and Maintenance stages and will keep your batteries safety maintained while your van is not being used. Failing to do so may result in a fault occurring which may stop the BMS charging the batteries while in storage. However, the Inverter must be manually switched off from the remote switch on the control panel. By selecting ‘Storage Mode’ the BMS will automatically disconnect all 12V system loads. This mode requires all 12V loads to be switched off, including the Inverter. Storage mode is designed to charge the van batteries to an optimal level and maintain that level while your trailer is in storage. This is explained below in Selecting Storage Mode. If you plan on storing your trailer for a long period, it is recommended that you change the Charge Mode of the BMS from ‘Touring mode’ into ‘Storage mode’. The low voltage load disconnect is designed to help protect your trailer batteries becoming heavily discharged. Once the low SOC value has reach its set point, the 12 volt power will disconnect if a charge source is not connected. Your REDARC Manager 30 has a warning system to alert you that the SOC is at a low level. This is known as the float charge and is a normal cycle of the battery charging process. Once the trailer batteries are fully charged please note that the battery charger can drop to between 13.5 and 13.8 volts. Voltage can vary up/down during the recharging process. When the trailer is plugged into 240 volts the voltage will be between 13 – 14 volts (AGMs). Connect your Anderson plug to the vehicle and run the engine for at least ½ hour to maintain voltage level.Ensure the 240 volt circuit breaker is in the “UP” position as this can trip on rough roads and render the 240 volt system inoperative.
If you have a generator, use it to recharge your batteries via the Mains 240 volts inlet socket but connecting an extension lead.Ensure the Mains 240 volt circuit breaker or RCD is in the “UP” position as this can trip on rough roads and render the 240 volt system inoperative. If you have access, connect your van to Mains supply via the Mains 240v inlet socket on the side of the van.Options for charging your batteries include:
If you find your batteries are close to this voltage or SOC, your Redarc BMS will sound a Low state of charge alarm and you will need to connect a charging source. You will need to be aware of the voltage and SOC % of your batteries always as this will affect the life cycle of your 12V power supply.ĪOR recommends that batteries should not be allowed to drop below 12.4 volts for AGM or 50% State of Charge, and 12.8 volts for Lithium or 25% State of Charge.
The REDARC manager 30 is a Battery Monitor System with a remote display which shows you the status of your batteries. Your trailer is fitted with the REDARC Manager 30 system with which you can monitor the voltage and state of charge of your batteries at any time. Your battery charger charges the batteries in your trailer when connected to 240 volts.
