Relieve vehicle battery - External supply of the vehicle

e.g. with emergency services or fire departments the equipment number consuming power from the vehicle
has increased (i.e. laptop, cooling, etc.). The vehicle battery is not really designed for this additional demand
and even a secondary battery will only provide temporary cover. It is more efficient to relieve the main battery
through recharging.

	1. via the tow-bar attachment
	2. via an external power socket

Through the external power socket the battery charger and other 240V equipment used in the vehicle can be
supplied (e.g. the 240V heater).

The battery charger is automated and switches itself of as soon as the battery is fully charged. Hence, it can
be operated long-term without any worries.

		External power socket 240V
	A transformer changes the on-board voltage of 12V to 240V. This is necessary in order to operate equipment like laptop and printer in the vehicle. The picture shows 2 power sockets, which are an "extra". We can provide transfromers with a rating of up to 3000 Watts. This enables the running of all 240V equipment on board at any time (incl. an x-ray unit!).	>>> Light and heating
