The Battery Isolation Manager
(BIM) isolates the two battery systems, chassis, and
coach, in a motorhome. This prevents loads in one
system from discharging both. It also connects the two
battery systems together during charging. Both batteries
are charged if either is being charged. The coach
battery is charged while driving and the chassis battery
is charged while plugged into Shore Power at a
campground.
The BIM monitors the battery voltage of both the chassis and coach batteries over long
periods of time. If it senses a charging voltage, it connects the two batteries together. If the
charging system is drastically overburdened, the batteries will be isolated, however, if the
BIM sees a long term charging of both batteries it will allow the batteries to remain connected
and allow the charging system to do its job. Once the batteries have charged for one hour, the
BIM will isolate the batteries to prevent overcharging, and will only reconnect the batteries
for charging if one of the batteries drops to approximately 80% charge, and the other is being
charged. This long term monitoring of the batteries prevents the annoying relay clicking that
exists in simpler isolation modules today. The BIM does not guarantee 100% battery charge,
but prevents harmful battery charge levels.
