For models equipped with off-board chargers, first
connect the charger’s DC cord into the machine’s
battery charge receptacle then plug the AC power
supply cord into a properly grounded wall outlet
(Figure 108). Refer to the off-board battery
charger’s owner manual for operating instructions.
FOR SAFETY: Do not disconnect the off-board
charger’s DC cord from the machine’s receptacle

BATTERY CHARGER SETTINGS
The battery charger is set to charge the battery type
supplied with your machine. If you choose to change to
a different battery type or capacity, the charger’s
charging profile must be changed to prevent battery
damage.
The machine’s battery discharge indicator (BDI) must
also be reprogrammed to match battery type to prevent
battery damage and/or short run- time.
NOTE: For machines shipped without batteries, the
battery discharge indicator and the on- board battery
charger are set for GEL batteries as the default. If you
choose to use a different battery type, the settings
must be changed as described as below.
NOTE: For machines shipped without batteries and
supplied with an Off- Board Charger, the off- board
battery charger is set for wet lead- acid batteries from
the factory. The machine’s battery discharge indicator
is set for GEL batteries as the default. The machine’s
battery discharge indicator must be reprogrammed to
match charger settings
(See OFF-BOARD BATTERY
CHARGER below).

report battery charging data via IRIS, Tennant
recommends using the same battery type. If a different
amp hour or battery type is desired, contact Tennant
