The MH (Knaus) came with a big pile of manuals - but alas all in German!
Anyway .... I've been trawling the web and downloaded some in English
On browsing the EBL manual I notice the unit has a jumper for either "Wet" or "Gel" batteries... upon inspection it's currently set to "Gel"...
I've recently had two new Banner "wet" 100ah leisure batteries fitted.
From another trawl of the Link Removed.... I have deduced (in very simple terms) that a "Gel" battery requires a lower charge input than "Wet"... So a "wet" setting would be more detrimental to a Gel battery - than a Gel setting to a Wet one!??... In simple terms - is this correct?
Without a lot of faffing about - I cannot see what the Cab battery is when I remove the cover in the Hab area - other than it having a vent tube to the outside!.. Can I assume that this would mean it too is of the wet variety?..
Sooooooo...... should I be setting the EBL jumper to "wet" and is there any special precautions/procedures/isolation of stuff - I need to be aware of? - Btw... there is a SP fitted to the MH too along with a battery master etc!
Or..... if a vent doesn't necessarily indicate "wet" for the Cab and I need to establish one way or the other - and it turns out to be a Gel battery.... What the dickens do I set the Electroblock jumper to - or do I leave it on Gel!??...
