General Description E N A Li-ion battery pack with intrinsically safe LiFePO4 cells, a built-in charger and outstanding peak output power performance. N Nominal voltage: 12,8 V L Battery capacity range: 20 Ah to 40 Ah Low weight and easy to install F - Ideally suited for mobile applications R Thoroughly protected against misuse - Excellent performance in solar and other applications where D frequent deep discharge and insufficient recharge would E quickly damage lead-acid batteries Output 1: high current output for caravan movers and other E high power applications S - Caravan mover application: automatic shutdown of the high power output 30 minutes after enabling - Other applications: The high power output can be switched to “always on” mode S E - Short circuit proof - With battery over discharge protection Output 2: auxiliary output for low power DC loads - Always on - Short circuit proof - With battery over discharge protection Input 1: multi-purpose vehicle battery/solar charger input - Voltage and current regulated to safely charge the Li-ion battery. Virtually any source of DC electric power can be connected to this input, as long as 11 V < Vin < 25 V Input 2: second input to connect a 15 V DC power supply - A 3 A power supply is included (connects to 100/240 VAC mains) 1 Fast charging possible through input 1 (high current output) - A battery charger or inverter/charger can be connected to the high power output for fast charging. The maximum charge current is 40 A and the absolute maximum voltage is 14 V (a higher charge voltage may damage the Li-ion cells in case of cell charge unbalance). Storage mode - Reduces battery current drain to virtually zero. Prevents damage due to battery over discharge during long term storage.

Safety instructions E N Danger of explosion from sparking N • Please read this manual carefully before the product is L installed and put into use. • This product is designed and tested in accordance with international standards. The equipment should be used for F the designated application only. R • Install the product in a heatproof environment. Ensure therefore that there are no chemicals, plastic parts, curtains or other textiles, etc. in the immediate vicinity of the equipment. D • Do not connect in series to get a higher voltage. (The E overload and short circuit protections might fail.) • Ensure that the equipment is used under the correct operating conditions. Never operate it in a wet environment. • Never use the product at sites where gas or dust explosions ES could occur. • Ensure that there is always sufficient free space around the product for ventilation. • Connections must always be made in the sequence described S E in section 3.5. • Use flexible multistranded copper cable for the output 1 and output 2 connections. The maximum diameter of the individual strands is 0,4 mm /0,125 mm² (0.016 inch/AWG26). A 25 mm² cable, for example, should have at least 196 strands (class 5 or higher stranding according to VDE 0295, IEC 60228 and BS6360). Also known as H07V-K cable. An AWG2 gauge cable should have at least 259/26 stranding (259 strands of AWG26). In case of thicker strands the contact area will be too small and the resulting high contact resistance will cause severe overheating, eventually resulting in fire. 3 3. Battery care • The PPP must be fully charged before first use. A full charge is indicated by the blue LED lighting continuously • When not in use, the PPP must be switched to storage mode and fully charged at least every 12 months • In case of seasonal use the PPP must be at least 50 % charged before storing. Pressing the button for 5s will put the PPP in storage mode, acknowledged by flashing blue. 4. Installation When placing the Peak Power Pack it should be observed that it has sufficient ventilation all around. A space of at least 5 cm must be allowed. In case of high temperature, the product will switch off, and an error is indicated by the LED flashing red. The Peak Power Pack leaves the factory in storage mode to protect it from deep discharge. Prior to first use, the button must be pressed for 5s. The PPP is now ready for use, confirmed by the LED flashing blue. Installing the PPP in a caravan The enclosure is made of plastic and must be mounted on the caravan floor inside a cabinet or storage area using the included strap or a suitable battery clamp. After mounting the PPP on the caravan floor, drill an 8 mm hole in the cabinet wall for the remote button/LED. The button/LED should be mounted in an area that is easily accessible to press the button and viewing the LED. Pass the 3.5 mm jack plug and the cable through the hole from the outside until the button locks in place. The 3.5 mm jack can now be connected to the remote button socket of the PPP. 4 Connection of the high current output to a caravan mover The mover control box can be connected directly to the “mover” E N output of the PPP. The cable ends must be stripped for 15 mm. Carefully insert all wire strands into the connectors and tighten the screws. The recommended tightening torque is 2 Nm. Be careful to insert the wire end completely into the terminal without N clamping the plastic wire insulation, and without leaving strands L out. Use the cables supplied with the caravan mover kit, or as recommended by the mover manufacturer. Cable cross sections F of 10 mm² to 16 mm² are commonly used. R D E E S Because of the high currents involved when operating the S E mover, a careful installation of the cables is crucial. Improper connections of the cables can cause loss of performance, overheating and damage. The Victron PPP is equipped with high-power terminals that can provide a reliable connection on fine stranded wire ends. High quality eyelets and specialist crimping tools are therefore not needed. Solid wire or wires with thick strands will not provide a proper connection. Connection of the domestic output A low power household load, such as LED lights, low power water pump or a 12V-LCD TV can be powered from the “domestic” output. A properly sized in-line fuse must be connected within 10 cm of the positive battery terminal. This is to prevent overheating/melting of the cables. A 1,5 mm² cable should have a fuse of up to 10 A A 2,5 mm² cable must be fused at maximum 16 A. 5 Connection of the power adapter (mains) The “mains” jack connects to the 15 V power adapter (included). The power adapter has to be connected to a mains outlet socket. (100…240 VAC, 50…60 Hz) The car/solar input A 11 to 25 VDC power source can be connected to the car/solar input, to charge the PPP from the towing car electrical circuit, a 12V-solar panel or a 12V-battery. When connecting to a car trailer plug, the used contact must be carefully selected, not to overload any circuit or to over discharge the car battery. As an example, the commonly used 13p “Jaeger” plug is described. The pin numbering for the “Multicon WeST” plug is the same. 6 E N N L Pin DIN Name Color Cable size mm2 AWG FR 1 L Left Turn Signal Yellow 1.5 15 2 Rear fog lamps Blue 1.5 15 3 31 Ground(-) for pin 1 - 8 White 2.5 13 4 R Right Turn Signal Green 1.5 15 D E 5 58R Tail, side, registration Brown 1.5 15 6 54 Stop lamps Red 1.5 15 7 58L Tail, side, registration Black 1.5 15 8 Reve rsing la mp s Pink 1.5 15 E S 9 30 +12 V permanent Orange 2.5 13 10 15 +12 V via ignition lock Grey 2.5 13 11 31 Ground (-) for pin 10 Black/White 2.5 13 12 Trailer present Light Grey 1.5 15 SE 13 31 Ground (-) fo r pin 9 Red/White 2.5 13 Pins 9 or 10 with their respective Ground returns (11 or 13) can be used. Normally, pins 9 and 10 are fused at 20 A in the car’s fuse panel. The advantage of using pin 10 is that the PPP only charges when the ignition is on, so the car’s battery doesn’t drain when parking. Pin 10 is a non-standard option on most car models, so please verify it’s available. If connected to pin 9 be careful not to drain the car battery when the engine is not running. Disconnect the trailer plug on longer stops. Most absorption type refrigerators use up to 10 A. When the PPP is added on the same circuit, the 20 A fuse is not overloaded but there is no available power for other loads. When other loads are used, such as the water pump or lamps, the refrigerator must be switched to gas power. 7 5. Operation Push button: • Press shortly: The high power output will be on during 30 min., LED lights red. The domestic output will be on permanently (domestic output not available on 8 Ah model). • Press during 2s: Both the high power output and the domestic output will be permanently on. The red LED blinks slowly. • Press during 5s: The PPP will switch off (= storage mode), LED blue, flashes 10 times. Both the high power output and the domestic output will be off. The adapter or car/solar input can still be used to charge the PPP.
