It sure does alittlebitconcerned.

I have supplied quite a few DBS for Pumas.

Hope this Q is not too stoopid

Hi Andy and it’s not a stupid question at all.

And yes the USI-160 allows an amount of the auxiliary battery to be drawn on, to assist in starting your motor.
This has no adverse effect on the auxiliary battery, no matter what type it is.

This form of operation helps to extend the operating life of your cranking battery in two ways.

1 ). It gives a partial reduction in the load placed on your cranking battery while you start your motor.

2 ). Because you draw slightly less from your cranking battery while starting your motor, you need less driving time to replace the energy use to start the motor.

So again, andy, anything but a stupid question.

Hi David, I think I remember your set up.

I supply a system for charging Lithium batteries in caravans, motor homes and work vehicles and it would be idea for your setup.

I am not sure you might want to go this complex but it covers everything needed for good house battery charging, lithium or lead acid.

The system comprises of one of the newly reprogrammed DT90 isolators, ( or a specially programmed ABG-15 if you do not have other auxiliary batteries in the vehicl), a Sterling Pure Sine Wave inverter equipped with an RVD safety trip, and a Promariner battery charger.

The DT90 ( new CARAVAN version ) controls the power going to the inverter, only powering the inverter once the motor has been running for 5 minutes.

The inverter's AC output is now protect with the Australian developed and patented RVD, which make these inverters the safest in world.

The two main reasons why I use the Promariner battery chargers is that these chargers have setting for charging any form of 12v ( or 24v ), including two dedicated Lithium battery charging algorithms.

Plus the Promariner battery chargers have three separate isolated charging outputs, which simplifies their use in dual rolls of charging batteries and power 3 way fridges, because when the charger is off, the batteries are isolated from the fridge.

When the inverter turns on, the battery charger is powered up and one output is used to charge the batteries and another output can be used to power a 3 way fridge.

David, hope all this is of some use to use and if you would like some more details, ask away.
