Battery Maintenance
Correct operation of the battery charger is important.
Follow the instructions of the charger manufacturer.
Never fully top up battery cells just before a charge
cycle. (Just check they are not ‘dry’)
Never permit the battery to discharge below the
minimum value given by the battery manufacturer.
Always use a battery charger approved by the
battery/truck manufacturer.
Only use deionised / distilled water to top up cells.
Never permit a battery to stay discharged for long
periods.
Always fully top up battery cells immediately after
charge cycle.
The truck uses a 48V DC battery, with various Amp-
Hour capacities to suit the truck’s duty cycle. Always
consult the truck’s technical specification before
attempting to fit or connect a battery to the truck’s
electrical system. It is also important to check the
charger specification to ensure that it is compatible
with the battery before charging. Read the charger
handbook before connecting.
Note:
Battery chargers should only be installed by a
qualified electrician.
