LiFT Pack X48 User Guide
2.2 Initial Startup
To turn the battery on, press the power button. A green light will illuminate indicating the battery is on. The battery will
click and take approximately 1-5 minutes before it can be charged or used.

The battery should be plugged in until fully charged and should remain plugged in or be turned off until installation and
deployment in equipment. There is no danger of overcharging the battery as the onboard Battery Management System
(BMS) communicates with the external charger and efficiently charges and balances the cells. It is important to turn the
battery off if it is not in use and awaiting deployment.
To maintain battery health, keep the battery plugged in whenever it is not in use. Should you completely discharge the
battery, plug the battery in for charging immediately after use. This will help maintain optimum battery health.
2.2.1 Installation
To install safely:
1) Use an approved lifting device and chains (or straps) to lift the battery using the handle cutouts on each side.
2) Slowly place the battery into the battery compartment with the battery power cables oriented appropriately to the
ground support truck.
3) Connect the battery main power cables and communication cable (if applicable) to the truck.
*Warning: Do not install in an underbody location*
2.2.2 Truck Integration
The X48 can integrate directly to a truck (if available) with a harness stemming from the external 12 pin deutsch of the
battery. The State of Charge (SOC) will be shown on the truck and will display battery Device Trouble Codes (DTCs). If
CAN integration is not available, a separate SOC gauge is available to install on the truck dashboard.
