this equipment. De-energize all AC and DC power connections before 
servicing the charger.

3.9.  The charger is not for outdoor use.
3.10. Do not expose the charger to moisture. Operating conditions should be 

32ºF (0ºC) to 113ºF (45ºC); 0 to 70% relative humidity.

3.11. Do not operate the charger if it has been dropped, received a sharp 

impact, or otherwise damaged in any way.

3.12. For continued protection and to reduce the risk of fire, install chargers  

on a non-combustible surface.

3.13. For NexSys

®

 iON batteries, use only EnerSys

®

 battery packs that include 

the battery management system and all necessary protection for the 
battery pack integral to the pack.

3.14. The DC cables of the charger emit low power magnetic fields in their 

surroundings (<5cm). People with medical implant devices should avoid 
being near charger while charging.

4.1.  Location

4.1.1.  For safe operation, choose a location which is free of excess 

moisture, dust, combustible material, and corrosive fumes. Also, 
avoid high temperature (above 113ºF (45ºC)) or potential liquid 
spill on the charger.

4.1.2.  Do not obstruct the openings in the charger for air ventilation.
4.1.3.  Follow charger warning label when mounting on or over a 

combustible surface.

4.1.4.  It is recommended to mount the charger at least 28 inches radial 

distance away from the closest top edge of the battery.

4.2.  Cabinet mounting

4.2.1.  The charger must be mounted on a wall, stand, shelf or floor in 

a vertical position. The minimum distance between two chargers 
must be 12 inches.

4.2.2.  The charger must be installed with four 5/15-inch bolts or with 

the bracket supplied. Charger should be permanently fastened in 
place.

4.2.3.  For shelf mounting, part number 159-6LA22723 is required – two 

per charger. 

4.3.  Electrical connections

4.3.1.  To prevent failure of the charger, make sure it is connected to the 

correct line voltage. Follow your local and National Electric Code 
(NEC) in making these connections.

4.3.2.  WARNING: Make sure the power source is OFF and the battery is 

disconnected before connecting the input power to the terminals 
of the charger.

4.4.  Connecting input power

4.4.1.  Connect the input power to the appropriate terminals and apply 

appropriate torque as follow:

4.4.2.  Three phase chargers are not phase rotation sensitive and work 

with a grounded Delta or Wye electrical service configuration.

4.5.  AC circuit protection

4.5.1.  The user must provide suitable branch circuit protection and a 

disconnect method from the AC power supply to the charger to 
allow for safe servicing.

4.5.2.  CAUTION: Risk of Fire. Use only on circuits provided with branch 

circuit protection in accordance with the Breaker/Fuse Chart table 
in this manual, and the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.

4.6.  Grounding the charger

4.6.1.  Connect ground wire to terminal marked with 

either of the two symbols to the right and apply  
same torque value per the table in section 4.4.1.

4.6.2.  DANGER: FAILURE TO GROUND THE CHARGER COULD LEAD TO 

FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK. Follow National Electric Code for ground 
wire sizing.

4.7.  DC connector polarity

4.7.1.  DC plug polarity
4.7.2.  The charging cables are connected to the DC output of the charger: 

the red charging cable (POS) is connected to the positive busbar of 
the charger, and the black charging cable (NEG) is connected to the 
negative busbar of the charger. The output polarity of the charger must 
be observed when connecting to the battery. Improper connection will 
open the DC fuses in the power modules.
