Battery Current Sensor

The battery current sensor is installed to the negative cable of the battery. The battery current sensor detects the battery charge/discharge current and transmits signals to VCM. VCM judges the battery load based on these signals and controls the power generation by converting the target generation voltage to a power generation command signal and transmitting it to the DC/DC converter.

CAUTION: Never connect the electrical component or the ground wire directly to the battery terminal. The connection causes the malfunction of the power voltage variable control, and may cause the battery to discharge.
