Installation Instructions
D.7 Generator 12V DC System-Installation
The Panda 4500 needs a battery with a capacity of at least 44Ah for the start. The generator can
be attached to the existing starting battery of the main engine or be supplied with its own battery.
The Panda 4500 is not equipped with its own 12V battery loading installation. Thus that the starting
battery is charged during the generator operation, at the exit of the generator a battery charger
is ensured is normally attached. This battery charger should be selected in such a way that
the rated output approx. 10% of battery capacity correspond. (120Ah starting battery requires a
battery charger with approx. 10 - 12A charging current).
In the Panda accessories program special battery chargers are available, which are designed to
load in connection with the generator particularly effectively. This is however necessary only if the
electrical system is to be loaded hereby. For loading the generator and/or starting battery a simple,
low-priced battery charger is sufficient.
