2 - Battery Status Indicator, Analog (optional)
The battery status indicator is located to the left of the hour
meter. The normal operating range is in the green zone. Park
the vehicle for a few minutes for an accurate reading. The
vehicle needs charging if it is in the yellow zone. During and
immediately following charging, the needle will be in the red
zone to the right. The needle will move through the green
zone toward the yellow zone as the batteries discharge.
Charge the batteries when the needle is in the yellow zone. If
it is in the red zone to the left, the batteries are empty and the
truck should be taken out of service and charged to avoid
damaging the batteries.
2 - Battery Status Indicator, Digital Bargraph
The battery status indicator is located to the left of the
hour meter. The battery status indicator has a LED bar
graph that indicates the relative state of charge of the
battery. The top LED will light only when connected to a
fully charged battery or after completing a charging cycle.
Successive lower LED’s will light as the battery charge
diminishes. When the second from the bottom LED
flashes the battery energy status is in energy reserve
and should be placed on charge as soon as possible.
When the two bottom LED’s are alternately flashing the
batteries are empty and the truck should be taken out of
service and charged to avoid damaging the batteries.
The BSI will reset to fully charged only after a complete
charge cycle is completed. A complete charge cycle is
defined as battery voltage exceeding 2.35 volts per cell
for a minimum of 6 minutes.
1 - Hour Meter (optional)
The hour meter is located to the right of the battery status
indicator. It records the number of hours the vehicle has
been in operation.
