2. The red flow indicator balls should swirl, indicating that the batteries are being filled. See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• If at any time water overflows from the batteries, immediately stop the refill process, disconnect the
pressure regulator from the battery fill coupling, and call for service.
3. When the red flow indicator balls stop moving, immediately press the grey button to disconnect the hose-end
assembly from the battery fill coupling (9), and squeeze the dust cover (10) to lightly secure it to the male
connector of the battery fill coupling
(Figure 14-6) .
4. Place the battery fill coupling into the space between the batteries and the car body. Leaving the fill coupling on
top of the battery bank or tucked between the batteries can result in coupling damage.
5. Turn the water faucet off when finished filling the vehicle(s).
BATTERY STORAGE
See Storage – Electric Vehicles, Section 3, Page 3-2.
FLEET ROTATION
Rotate vehicle usage. It is very hard on batteries if the last vehicles in at night are the first ones out in the morning.
Spread the workload evenly, giving all vehicles the same amount of use. This will keep your fleet in balance and will
not overwork certain sets of batteries.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: When vehicles are being rotated, the CDT (Controller Diagnostic Tool) can be a very helpful service tool.
Monitoring the value of the Odometer or Amp-Hours with the CDT simplifies vehicle usage scheduling. See
Monitor Menu, Section 11, Page 11-10.
