3.
To charge your battery, connect the Anderson connector on the battery to the Anderson
connector on the charger. Hold the base of both terminals and gently push them together
until they click into place.
4.
While the battery is charging, both indicator lights will be red.
5.
Once the battery is fully charged (steady green light),
disconnect the battery from
the battery wall charger first.
Then unplug the battery wall charger from the wall
outlet.
Note
The battery wall charger must be unplugged between
charges to work properly during charging.
Note
The 16Ah battery will charge in about 4 hours.
The older model 11Ah and 15 Ah batteries will charge
in roughly 2.5 hours and 3 hours, respectively.
Full and Depleted Voltage Readings
A fully charged battery will display a reading of 54 volts. A reading of 48V indicates that it is
time to charge the battery. (Technically the batteries can go lower than 48V and still power the
vehicle, but 48V is a good number to be on the safe side.)
Testing with a Digital Multimeter (dmm)
If you do not have a CycleAnalyst installed to give you a battery reading, you may do your own
battery testing with a digital multimeter (dmm) that can test Voltage DC. The most basic, cheap
dmm can do this. Turn the meter on, and set the dmm selector to VDC, 0-50V. (Note that some
types of dmm specify a voltage range and some do not). Then using your dmm
’s
+
and
-
probes, touch the negative and positive leads to the negative and positive leads of the
battery’s
Anderson connector. The dmm will display your voltage reading. See image below.
Use
caution to not short out the battery by touching the probes together while testing or
it will arc and spark, potentially damaging the multimeter and the battery.
