- This often used method does not protect your starter battery nor given you a smart charging solution. Below follows a short example:
- Starter battery at 100% capacity, auxiliary battery at 0%.
- Shortly after engine start you will have two equal batteries at 50%.
- After a short run and a recharge of say 10+10% you stop the engine.
- This leaves you with 60% capacity in both batteries.
- Aux. battery then again used down to 0% of capacity.
- A new engine start.
- 30% in both batteries
- After a short run and a recharge of say 10+10% the engine is halted.
- This time you have 40% in the engine battery.
- Next time you have 30% and so on.
- Finally you can not start the engine anymore.
- SEPTOR, by it’s smart electronics, secure the starter battery not from dropping below 80% of charge apart from state of auxiliary battery condition, hours of engine run etc.
