Battery Charger
2001 Carryall Electric Vehicle Owner’s Manual 31
Each Carryall electric vehicle is supplied with either a fully automatic, stationary battery charger (Carryall 1
and Carryall 2) or fully automatic onboard charger (Carryall 6) as standard equipment. The AC cord from the
charger should be connected to a source capable of supplying 10 amperes minimum per charger.
The battery charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The charger is equipped with an
AC electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding type plug. The plug must be
grounded to an appropriate dedicated receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and all local codes and ordinances. See the owner’s manual
supplied with the charger for specific operating instructions before using the charger.
The use of an extension cord with the charger should be avoided. If an extension cord must be used, a three
conductor No. 12 AWG heavy duty cord with a ground conductor in good electrical condition must be used. If
using an extension cord, keep it as short as possible (no more than twelve feet). Position all cords so they will
not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subject to damage or stress.
The charging area must be well-ventilated. To prevent a buildup of explosive gas, the hydrogen level in the air
must never exceed 2%. The total volume of air in an enclosed charging area must be changed at least five
times per hour. Consult a local HVAC engineer.
Carryall 6 Only: Because the Carryall 6 vehicle does not have a DC receptacle, the onboard charger must
be repaired in order to charge the batteries.
TO CHARGE BATTERIES
• Carryall 1 and Carryall 2 (stationary charger):
Insert charger AC plug into a dedicated AC receptacle that is properly grounded and wired in accordance
with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and all local codes and ordinances. Then insert charger
DC plug into the vehicle receptacle. Charger will turn on two to ten seconds later (Figure 17, Page 32).
• Carryall 6 (onboard charger):
Insert the onboard charger AC plug into a dedicated AC receptacle that is properly grounded and wired
in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and all local codes and ordinances. The
charger will turn on two to ten seconds later.
• BECAUSE THE POWERDRIVE CHARGER HAS A STORAGE CHARGE FEATURE THAT
AUTOMATICALLY CHECKS AND RECHARGES THE BATTERIES AS NECESSARY EVERY 15 DAYS,
IT CAN REMAIN PLUGGED TO A POWERDRIVE VEHICLE THROUGHOUT THE STORAGE PERIOD.
• SHORTLY AFTER CHARGING HAS BEGUN, THE POWERDRIVE CHARGER WILL SHUT OFF IN
ORDER TO RUN A SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM (AMMETER WILL DROP TO 0). CHARGING WILL
RESUME IN A FEW MOMENTS (AMMETER WILL RETURN TO CURRENT STATE OF CHARGE).
• VEHICLES WITH A CHARGER RECEPTACLE: NEVER MODIFY WIRING TO BYPASS THE GRAY
SENSE LEAD FUSE (FIGURE 19, PAGE 33).
• WHEN TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW 65 °F (18.3 °C), BATTERIES CHARGED IN UNHEATED AREAS
SHOULD BE PLACED ON CHARGE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER USE. BATTERIES ARE WARMEST
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE, WHILE COLD BATTERIES REQUIRE MORE TIME TO FULLY CHARGE.
