Hi,
I have a 12V battery and charger in my caravan. The charger operational at all times and connected to the battery terminals. I have been told that when the 12V lights are switched on that they draw current from the battery rather than the charger and that the charger merely replenishes the lost charge. This it was explained, was to facilitate battery cycling and promoted healthy batteries which I can understand.
Firstly, does the battery provide the current?
Secondly, if the battery is the source, how does the light discriminate between the battery and the charger as its source?
Thanks
Andrew
