OBAE, OBAEXU, ON BOARD Battery Chargers
INTRODUCTION:
The OBAE line of chargers are designed for the permanent installation on battery powered
vehicles and equipment. They are an electronically controlled two stage charger. The first stage
brings the batteries to the gassing threshold where a three hour timer starts. The batteries are then
gassed for three hours. After three hours, the charger drops into a low float mode where the
charge is maintained in the batteries indefinitely. Finish current is below 1 amp.
SOME APPLICATIONS:
Golf cars, pallet trucks, personnel carriers, scissor lifts, floor scrubbers, stand-by power
applications, robotics.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THIS CHARGER UNTIL YOU HAVE READ ALL THE
INSTRUCTIONS.
INITIAL INSTALLATION:
Before making AC connections, refer to the AC requirements labeled on the charger. If your
charger is not equipped with an AC plug (a 220 volt model) have a qualified electrician install
one.

a maximum of 20 ampere branch circuit protection (circuit breaker or fuse),
In accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and all local
