Battery system for high currents with REVOTION
If your vehicle draws a lot of current at once, you don't connect the consumers individually via the NODE® Battery, but together via a TEXU distributor and a NODE® Battery High Current. This keeps your current measurement clean and you can add consumers later without rebuilding the system.
Division of tasks
NODE® Battery
It records the charging currents and ensures safe operation of the auxiliary battery.
NODE® Battery High Current
It records all consumers together and can handle currents up to 500 A.
Connection to the TEXU 400
- Connect the positive pole of the battery to the 400-A input of the TEXU.
- Remove the connecting plate to make room for the NODE® Battery High Current.
- Connect the negative pole of the battery to the small negative distribution.
- Replace the connecting plate with the NODE® Battery High Current and pay attention to the correct installation direction.
- Connect the positive connection of the NODE® Battery to the 200-A input of the TEXU.
- Connect the negative connection of the NODE® Battery to the small negative distribution.
- If you use the vehicle chassis as ground, connect this connection to the small negative distribution as well.
- You can take the positive connections of the consumers from any inputs.
- All negative connections of the consumers go to the large negative distribution.
Connection to the TEXU 200
- Connect the positive pole of the battery to the 200-A input of the TEXU.
- Connect the negative pole of the battery to the battery side of the NODE® Battery High Current.
- Connect the system side of the NODE® Battery High Current to the negative distribution.
- Connect the positive connection of the NODE® Battery via a 200-A fuse to the battery positive pole.
- Connect the negative connection of the NODE® Battery to the battery negative pole.
- If you use the vehicle chassis as ground, connect this connection to the battery negative pole.
- You can take the positive connections of the consumers from any inputs.
- All negative connections of the consumers go to the negative distribution.
Configuration in the app
The NODE® Battery as main battery
Set up your NODE® Battery as usual and turn on Synchronize all NODE® batteries – this NODE® provides the technology, voltage, and capacity for all others.
The NODE® Battery High Current as consumer
Open the NODE® Battery High Current, scroll down to the Channels section, and select Consumer for Channel 1.
Leave the Synchronize all NODE® batteries switch off on this NODE®. Save both NODEs when you're done.
Important: If the switch is on on both NODEs, both will constantly show 100% charge level – even a calibration won't change that.
Note: If a single inverter is connected to the NODE® Battery High Current instead of the entire consumer side, the channel there will be labeled Inverter instead of Consumer – for instructions on how to do this, see the article "Connecting inverters with NODE® Battery and NODE® Battery High Current".
