Ok, but do you use this circuit to also signal to the charger to start or is it just for auxilliaries?
Asking because i plan on using PP signal to start aux stuff in my pug and i want to know if i need anything more...

Yes the circuit also powers the charger itself. I guess it would work likewise with PP

Ah, but no "enable" signal and the likes, you just power up the charger and it is satisfied by Cp signal then?

tnx
