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 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 AC
power receptacle.
3. The charger will start the charging cycle
after it has determined that all systems
are OK. This will be indicated by the
Status lamp flashing slowly (≈1/second).
Note: It is recommended that the charging
cycle be allowed to complete normally
before disconnecting the AC power
cord.
The Charge Status lamp (yellow) will indicate
the active charging phase as follows:
• Slow flash
: Charge cycle is ON and is in
constant current mode.
• Rapid flash
: Charge cycle is ON and is
in constant voltage mode.
•
Solid
: Charge cycle is in finish mode.
The Charge Complete lamp (green) will indicate
the charging status as follows:
• Slow flash
: Charge cycle is complete
and is in post charging phase.
• Rapid flash
