triggered if the battery is being used to power a device and is being charged at the

Installing the Engel Smart Battery Box as part of a Dual Battery System
using the Anderson Plug
The Engel Smart Battery Box can be used in a dual battery set-up. The best method
to do this is to connect the Engel Smart Battery Box to a dual battery wiring loom (not
supplied) using either the positive/negative external terminals or the Anderson plug.
Using these methods the smart charge system is bypassed so the Engel Smart Battery
Box cannot control the charging voltage. A voltage sensitive relay/solenoid must be
used to ensure priority is given to charging the vehicle’s main starting battery. The
main isolator switch on the Engel Smart Battery Box must be switched on. The main
data screen will show “external cycle” after a few minutes of charging in this case. See
FAQs for more information.

Step 3. Battery confirmation – CALCIUM batteries only
If you selected CALCIUM battery you will be asked to confirm your selection. Calcium
batteries need to be charged at a much higher voltage which could cause damage to
other battery types.
- Select YES if you are charging a CALCIUM battery – Proceed to step 4
- Select NO return to Battery type selection
Step 4. Battery Capacity Selection
Using the MENU buttons, scroll up or down to your battery size in Ah (amp hours) rating
and press OK to select. If your battery Ah rating is not listed then select the next level
down i.e battery size 105Ah – select 100Ah
Your battery setup is now complete and the main data page will appear. The charge
process for your specific battery chemistry will commence in 30 seconds.
These settings are now saved in the Engel Smart Battery Box. Please note the next time
you turn the Engel Smart Battery Box on the welcome screen is bypassed and the main
data screen will appear.
If you disconnect the saved battery or connect a new battery the welcome screen will
appear first (refer to step 1) and you’ll need to select ‘yes’ or ‘no’ again.
CAUTION – the Engel Smart Battery Box only saves the last battery setup, the setup
process will have to be completed every time a different battery is charged
WARNING – Do not charge battery using Anderson plug and car charging lead (refer
to page 2) at the same time.
