What battery can i charge....

[Paul and Kate]

18 reg Bailey autograph 75-2.
Truma solar regulator says I can charge.
Wet,agm and gels.
How do I find out what the ehu charger can charge.
Cant find anything in the manual.

AGM & Gel need a higher voltage so if the charger is capable it will have a switch to change from FLA to AGM/GEL.
No switch, it's doubtful it will be OK.

Find the make and model of the charger ang Google it. Should be a label somewhere on the charger.

Page 52 spells it out. My interpretation is that the charger is capable of charging and maintaining Lead Acid batteries only.

I'll take your word, not having a manual....but it's done a good job of maintaining an AGM battery for 7 years.

Edit.... Oops, wrong thread.

2017 model.... Most likely the same charger....

The 12 Volt Electrical System
Your motorhome is fitted with a dual stage
power supply/charger supplying 14.2V to your
leisure battery and between 13.6/13.8V to the
habitation area.

14.2v isn't high enough for AGM or GEL to charge fully

Wet batteries it is then???????

 

[pappajohn]

I'm sure it will be but make sure your solar controller is set to wet.

Yes! Page 52.

2THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The 12 Volt Electrical System Your motorhome is fitted with a dual stage power supply/charger, supplying 14.2v to your leisure battery and between 13.6/13.8v to the habitation area. This converts the 230v AC supply to 12v DC. It enables the 12v equipment in the motorhome to function and also charges the motorhome leisure battery. A fully charged leisure battery should read 12.7v on the voltmeter in the control panel. During charging the control panel will temporarily read between 14.2/13.8v. The charger is capable of charging leisure batteries and will not overcharge. The 12V system is designed to operate with a leisure battery in circuit and should not be turned on without one connected. The 12V supply to the motorhome services can be isolated via the 12V on/off switch on the control panel.
