Battery Current
The parameter shows the current in respectively out of the battery.
Measurement range: -512- +512 A.
The value shows the vehicle's actual power consumption calculated by the battery monitoring sensor via the Central electronic module (CEM). The battery monitoring sensor registers the current in to or out of the battery and its size. With the ignition on without the external battery or battery charger connected, the vehicle's actual power consumption can be measured. By switching on different consumers their power consumption can be noted.
CAUTION:
With the engine running, external battery or battery charger connected, it is only possible to note whether current goes in to or out of the battery and its size. If a consumer is then switched on in the vehicle, it is not guaranteed to be noted as the alternator/battery charger compensates for the current change.
