1. Information about electrical consumption
Power upgrades provided by an AEC increase the electrical
consumption of a vehicle. An additional electric current flows.
Besides this, the total current is depending on the car type, the
additional equipment or similar. In particular cases, a considerable
higher power consumption is possible.
The total power consumption determines how often a vehicle can be
started without recharging the battery. Furthermore, it depends on
the age and charging condition of the battery as well as on the
outside temperature.
For vehicles which are used only sporadically, it is generally
recommended to recharge the battery periodically. Thus the battery's
durability can be prolonged.
In case the vehicle is not in use for longer than one week, we
recommend to replace the AEC with a bridge adapter. In doing so, an
additional power consumption is prevented. Due to the adapter, the
vehicle remains ready to start and is in its original state.
This bridge adapter can be purchased separately.
While staying in countries with bad fuel quality we also recommend
the usage of the bridge adapter.
