Master Troubleshooting & Diagnostics Matrix
| Error Code / Indicator | Symptom / Meaning | Step-by-Step DIY Fix | Suggested Actions |
|---|---|---|---|
Operational Fault | The battery may be fully discharged or switched off automatically due to high temperatures or system protection. | Make sure that the BatteryPack is fully charged. If exposed to high temperatures, allow it to cool and switch it on again. | DIY Safe |
Operational Fault | Plugs may be loose, power connection faulty, or ambient temperature outside the permitted charging range. | Make sure that all plugs are plugged in properly, check that the power connection is functioning, and charge only at temperatures between 16 °C and 40 °C. | DIY Safe |
Operational Fault | The BatteryPack has automatically switched off due to low charge (voltage falls below 12.6 V) or system protection activation. | Fully charge the BatteryPack immediately; do not store it while all four LEDs are flashing to avoid deep discharge damage. | DIY Safe |
Operational Fault | Deactivation due to low charge (output voltage below 12.6 V) or activation of system protection due to anomalies such as short circuit, overvoltage, overload, etc. | Disconnect the BatteryPack from the Truma Cooler, resolve the cause of the fault, reattach it to the Truma Cooler, and activate it. In the event of deep discharge, fully charge the BatteryPack. | DIY Safe |
Operational Fault | The BatteryPack may be discharged or has automatically deactivated due to exposure to high temperatures. | Check that the BatteryPack is fully charged, or allow it to cool down if it has been exposed to high temperatures, and reactivate it. | DIY Safe |
Operational Fault | Incorrect connections, power supply failure, or ambient temperature outside the permitted range. | Check that all plugs are securely connected, verify that the power supply connection is working, and perform charging only at temperatures between 16 °C and 40 °C. | DIY Safe |
Operational Fault | Battery is depleted or has automatically shut down due to excessive heat exposure. | Ensure the BatteryPack is fully charged, allow it to cool down if exposed to high temperatures, and switch it on again. | DIY Safe |
BatteryPack cannot be charged | Incorrect plug connections, non-functional mains connection, or ambient temperature outside the permitted range. | Ensure all plugs are correctly inserted, check mains connection functionality, and charge only within the 16 °C to 40 °C temperature range. | DIY Safe |
Operational Fault | Low charge cut-off activated (output voltage below 12.6 V) or system protection triggered (short circuit, overvoltage, overcharging, deep discharge, simultaneous charge/discharge, or excessively high ambient temperature). | Disconnect from Truma Cooler, eliminate the cause of the fault, reconnect, and fully charge the battery immediately if deep-discharged. | DIY Safe |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I switch the BatteryPack on or off?
Press the On/Off switch for two seconds to switch the BatteryPack on or off.
Q: Can I connect the Truma Cooler to the BatteryPack and vehicle power supply at the same time?
No. Unintentional charging of the BatteryPack by the Truma Cooler can cause serious injury and damage to the product.
Q: What should I do if the BatteryPack has been dropped or damaged?
Do not use the BatteryPack if you dropped it, if there are cracks on the housing, or if it is damaged or broken in any other way. Contact Truma Service.
Q: How is the BatteryPack attached to the cooler?
The BatteryPack attaches directly to a metal surface of the Truma Cooler using its magnetic mounting feet.
Q: Can the BatteryPack be charged while powering the Truma Cooler?
No. During charging, the connection for the Truma Cooler is deactivated, and furthermore, the Truma Cooler must not be connected to the BatteryPack and an external power source at the same time.
Q: Can the BatteryPack be transported by airplane?
No, transporting the BatteryPack on an airplane is prohibited due to the hazard associated with air transport of dangerous materials.
