BATTERY
When charging the battery will give off explosive hydrogen gas. Keep away from open
flames. Always wear appropriate personal safety equipments such as eye protection and
rubber gloves to prevent injury in case of spillage.
Keep the top of the batteries clean and free from dirt. It is very easy for the battery to be
contaminated when topping up with distilled water. The batteries are working very hard and
regular topping up with distilled water will be required.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
The most common problem is the operator who rings up and complains that
“The machine has just gone out on hire and did only 2 lifts - and yes we did have it on
charge all last night before it went out”
You need to establish:
•
Was the charger working ?
•
Are the batteries in good condition ?
•
The most useful tool you can have is the Hydrometer ,to check the specific gravity, and a
simple volt meter. Check each cell and see how they all compare. If one or more cell is
significantly lower than the rest, replace all batteries. It is false economy to replace individual
batteries.
To check if the charger works you can connect your voltmeter to the same battery terminals
as the charger. Take a note of the reading. Now connect the charger to mains voltage.
You should see a marked increase in voltage. Also check the display on the charger. You
can also connect an inline ammeter (or use a clamp on type) to check that the charger output

BATTERY CHARGING USING GENERATOR
The charger can only be connected to a generator fitted with a full AVR (Automatic Voltage
Regulator) and spike filtering system.
Large voltage fluctuations and spikes will damage the electronic components in the charger
We have found that the Honda Generator sets offer the best and most reliable voltage
supply. This applies only to the fully integrated Honda generator sets and not the cheaper
verity using a Honda Engine fitted with a non Honda generator unit.
