General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION
The High Frequency Battery Charger functions as an integral part of the vehicles’ electrical system and will not work
with other electric vehicles. The charger is pre-programmed with a specific charge algorithm that is appropriate
to the specific battery type used in the vehicle.
See Battery and Charger Compatibility on page 3. When the
charger is connected, LED lights on the charger and dash perform start-up self-test (LEDs light up in sequence). See
Charger Displays on page 10.
The charger utilizes sophisticated charge termination criterion to shut off automatically, preventing the possibility of
either undercharging or overcharging. The charger accomplishes this by monitoring battery voltage, charge current,
charge time and using strict dV/dt termination criterion.
FEATURES
• Charge Interlock
When the AC power cord is inserted into a wall receptacle, the charger locks out the vehicle drive system. This
prevents the possibility of driving the vehicle while the charger is plugged in and potentially damaging the vehicle
and charger.
• Long-Term Storage Charge
This charger is designed to be left connected to AC power during off-season or long-term storage. Be sure to check
the charger monthly to ensure the charger is operating correctly during storage. The charger will enter maintenance
mode if supported by the charge algorithm or automatically activate if battery voltage drops <2.1 Volts per cell
(24 cells is 50.4 Volts) or 30 days have elapsed. To return the vehicle to service, disconnect the AC cord from
the wall outlet, wait 15 seconds and then plug the AC cord back in. The charger will activate. Allow the vehicle to
complete one full charge cycle before putting it into service.
UL AND CSA LISTING
When operated on a 120-volt / 60 Hz electrical system, this battery charger has been listed by Underwriters
Laboratories and by the Canadian Underwriters (thereby meeting the criteria of the Canadian Standards Association).
CE COMPLIANCE
This battery charger is compliant with the EU EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.
IP (INGRESS PROTECTION) RATING
The enclosure of the charger has been tested successfully to EN60529, meeting IP66. The AC supply inlet is rated to
IP20, which is suitable for indoor use only. Keep all AC connections clean and dry.
