Charging with the IC650 Charger
Note: Opportunity charging is not recommended. For maximum battery life, it is recommended
that the batteries be discharged a minimum of 30% (7 bars showing on the BSI) before
starting a charging cycle.
This charger requires a standard household electrical circuit rated at a minimum of 15 Amps.
Consult an authorized electrician if you do not know the configuration of your circuits.
1. Park the vehicle at an authorized charging station. Refer to Parking in the Driving section.
2. Connect the charging cord to the vehicle charging port and then plug the cord into the AC
power receptacle.
3.
The charger status lamps will flash in sequence as the charger performs a self-diagnosis
and systems check.
4. The charger will start the charging cycle only after it has determined that all systems are OK.
Note: It is recommended that the charging cycle be allowed to complete normally before
disconnecting the AC power cord.
Refer to grouped safety warnings and information at the start of this chapter.
