User’s Manual
3. If the charger must be disconnected from a battery pack while a charge cycle is in progress, disconnect the
charger AC input connector from the AC outlet to stop the charge cycle before disconnecting the DC output
connector from the battery pack. Do not disconnect the DC output connector from a battery pack while a
charge cycle is in progress. The resulting arcing and burning of the connectors could cause the battery to
explode.
4. The charger automatically terminates the charge cycle when a battery pack reaches full charge. The
necessary charge time is affected by numerous factors. The major factors affecting the required charge time
are the amp-hour capacity, depth of discharge, temperature, and age/usage of the battery pack.
5. After a charge cycle has completed, disconnect the charger DC output connector from the battery pack
connector by grasping both connectors and pulling them straight apart.
6. If the charger DC output connector remains connected to the battery pack connector after the charger
automatically terminates the charge cycle and the charger has AC power available, it will enter a storage
mode where it periodically performs a maintenance charge cycle. (Storage mode is a feature of specific
charge/battery profiles. Contact your dealer to determine if your charger includes a storage mode.)
On-Board Charger Operation:
1. With the charger AC input plug disconnected from the AC outlet/receptacle, connect the DC output connector
to the battery pack (if not already connected).
2. Connect the charger AC input plug to a single-phase, 120V, 60 Hz AC outlet. The charger will start
automatically, which is indicated by the ammeter on the user interface displaying the output current. Monitor
the ammeter on the user interface for the correct charge current. The initial charge current could vary several
amps from the start current listed in the specifications, depending on both the condition of the battery pack
and its depth of discharge.
3. If the charge cycle must be terminated early, disconnect the charger AC input plug from the AC outlet to stop
the charge cycle. Do not disconnect the DC output connector from a battery pack while a charge cycle is in
progress. The resulting arcing and burning of the connectors could cause the battery to explode.
