VOLT METER (Electric only)
General Information ....................................................1-5
Removal/Installation ....................................................1-6
The built-in volt meter constantly monitors the overall condition of the battery pack.
When in “charge mode” the typical volt meter reading will be approximately 27.6 VDC. The table below indicates
load readings, showing the representative system condition of the batteries.
The volt meter is a sealed unit and therefore not serviceable. If the unit shows zero voltage, the systems breaker switch
may be in the “OFF” position, the meter is inoperative, or the batteries’ charge is very low.
Limit discharging the batteries beyond 1.75 volts per cell (1.125 specific gravity per cell). 1.75 volts per cell cor-
responds to end-point voltages of 5.25 volts for 6-volt batteries (readings obtained at 80 degrees F).
