TK Lithium Ion Batteries (if equipped)

When TK Battery option is present, some additional components are installed in the condenser:

  • Smart Charger Module (SCM): converter for battery charging and discharging. The SCM has the ability to intelligently manage different power sources. It has also a Smart (dis)charging system to use with the additional battery pack.

  • Two DC relays (K2 and K3): for battery connection to E-200 internal DC bus.

  • Battery Management System (BMS): Lithium battery protection and diagnostics.

The TK battery system has two main purposes:
  • Gives power to the E-200 refrigeration system when the vehicle is off and the shore power is not connected. The batteries will connect automatically and will be able to run the unit for 1 hour with 1 TK battery is installed, or 2 hours with 2 TK batteries (time estimated depending the application).

  • Gives support to the vehicle alternator (via the SCM) when there is not enough power to charge the batteries and when a voltage drop in main vehicle battery is present.

The TK battery is charged when the unit is connected to shore power, or when the unit is running in road mode and there is enough power to charge the batteries when the unit is running.
