MAINTENANCE

AGM BATTERY CHARGING

To maximize the life of your AGM battery (), it is important 

that it is properly charged. As with all lead-acid batteries, 

both over- and under-charging an AGM battery will result 

in 

shortened service life

. The AGM batteries are sealed 

for life units and do not require any fluid top up.

Figure 32. Battery Series Connections

The TB12SE and TB12PE power buggies are equipped with 

an on-board SMART charger (Figure 33) which maintains 

the battery full charge condition without resulting in over 

charging.

Charging System Inspection

 

„

The charger's AC power cord should be free of breaks 

or cuts and the wall plug socket should be clean and 

free from debris.

 

„

The cable connectors from the on-board charger should 

be clean and properly mate with the battery terminals to 

ensure a sound connection.

Battery Inspection

 

„

Check battery cables are not damaged.

 

„

Connectors should be free of corrosion.

 

„

Make sure battery cable post or eyelet connectors are 

tight to avoid arcing.

Charging Guidelines

 

„

When the batteries have been discharged to 

¼ full

 as 

indicated on the battery gauge it is time to have the 

batteries fully charged. Plug the on-board battery charger 

power cord into a 120 VAC power outlet. 

  Allow batteries to complete a full charge and

 do not 

disconnect until fully charged

. Once fully charged, the 

on-board

 SMART

 battery charger will indicate a 

GREEN

 

status light indicating that the batteries are fully charged.

 

„

DO NOT

 charge batteries i.e. if the batteries have only 

discharged to 

¾ full

 as indicated on the battery gauge. 

There is no need to connect the battery charger power 

cable to the AC power outlet. 

 

„

It is recommended to use the buggy until the batteries 

have discharged to

 ¼ full

 as indicated on the battery 

gauge, then place the batteries into a full charge cycle.

 

„

ALWAYS

 charge batteries in a well ventilated area as 

gasses (fumes) may be released through the pressure 

relief valve if the batteries are excessively over-charged.

 

„

NEVER

 charge a frozen battery.

 

„

Ideal charging temperatures: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C)

 NOTICE

The charging light is normally 

ORANGE

 which changes 

to 

GREEN

 when the batteries are fully charged

.
