CONFIGURING BATTERY CAPACITY

The battery capacity needs to be set whenever a new battery is fitted to the J35. By 
default, the battery capacity is set to 100AH.
Correctly configuring the battery capacity ensures that the J35 will select the best 
charging parameters for the caravan battery in use and the software accurately 
estimates battery usage including Battery Capacity and Time Remaining.
Enter Set-Up mode and navigate to the 

bat CaP

 menu function. Follow the directions 

in Figure 8 to configure the battery capacity. The battery capacity can be adjusted 
between 50 and 600AH in steps of 10AH.

CONFIGURING BATTERY ALARM

Configure the battery alarm and set the low battery voltage warning threshold to 
trigger the Battery Low warning on the JControl Home screen to indicate that the 
battery requires charging.
By default, the low voltage warning threshold is 11V. 
Enter Set-Up mode and navigate to the 

bataLm

 menu function. Follow the directions 

in Figure 9 to configure the battery alarm. The battery alarm can be adjusted between 
10.0 and 14.0V in steps of 0.5V.
