Onboard Battery Charger
To charge the batteries, push the machine to a flat, dry,
well-ventilated area. Turn off the machine.
Unwrap the charging cord and plug into a wall socket.
The battery charger will initialize and then soft start the
charging cycle.
Battery Charger Controls
The battery charger is located under the battery cover.
It displays colored LEDs and simple text to communicate
status and faults.
LED Lights Description
· Yellow (unblinking) = Charging normally
· Yellow (blinking) = Charging, power limited
· Green = Charge complete
· Red = Fault condition
Stage 1: Pre-Test
1. This stage applies tests to the battery pack before
charging the batteries. The charging process is
terminated if unsuitable conditions are found.
Stage duration (usually 10 seconds) depends on
the condition of the battery pack.
2. On connection to both AC and DC, the display
scrolls the word “Start”, then scrolls “LC bul”.
The yellow charging LED illuminates, which
indicates that the charging of the battery pack
has started.
Note:
When a battery pack is severely discharged
(< 1.75 VPC), this stage can take several hours while
the charger revives the battery pack.
Stage 2: Constant Current Charge (Bulk)
1. If the Pre-Test is successful, the charger enters the
Bulk Stage. The charger is now operating at full
power.
2. The display scrolls “bul” followed by the current, and
the yellow LED stays illuminated.
Stage 3: Constant Voltage Charge (Absorption)
1. The charger now regulates voltage instead of current,
holding the battery at the gassing state. The charger
maintains a constant voltage as the charge current
gradually decreases.
2. During this stage, the display scrolls “Abs” and the
current, and the yellow LED stays illuminated.
Stage 4: Constant Current Charge (Finish)
1. The charger now regulates the current while the
voltage rises, completing the main charge. This stage
ends when the charge is replenished to 100%
capacity.
2. The display scrolls “Fin” and the current. The yellow
LED stays illuminated until the charge is complete.
3. At that point, display scrolls “Charge done”, the yellow
LED turns off, and the green LED is illuminated.
Charging Notes
·
During any part of the charging process, if AC power
is disconnected and reconnected, the charger restarts
-- quickly picking up from where it left off.
·
If the charger finds an abnormal charge condition
while charging, it will attempt to shut down and
indicate the fault condition.
