Storage – Electric Vehicle
GENERAL INFORMATION
NOTE: The OBC keeps track of the time spent in storage mode. When the OBC detects that the storage charge
cycles may have depleted the available electrolyte, it will stop the charger from further operation.
Disconnecting then reconnecting the DC cord (stationary charger) or AC cord (onboard charger) indicates the
electrolyte levels have been maintained and allows the OBC to resume operation.
While in storage, the Tow/Run switch should be in Tow. When in Tow mode, the amber battery warning light
will not illuminate. Do not attempt to use the battery light as an indication of battery state while in storage.
9.3.
If AC power is off for 7 days or longer, the OBC will not function or charge the vehicle again until it has
been restarted. To restart the computer, make sure AC power has been restored, disconnect the DC
cord (stationary charger) from the vehicle or the AC cord (onboard charger) from the power source, wait
five seconds, then reconnect it.
CAUTION
• Be sure to check the batteries and charger monthly to maintain correct battery water level and to
ensure the charger is operating correctly during storage.
9.4. If the charger cannot remain plugged in, AC power will not be available during extended storage, or
electrolyte levels will not be maintained, then disconnect the batteries for storage
