4.5 Indication and commissioning of the
36V charger
Inside the red battery housing there are 3 x 12V AGM batteries installed and
connected in series. The ErgoPack 36V charger charges these batteries.
The green or yellow shining LED indication light on the 36V charger indicates
different operating states of the charger as well as the charging status of the
battery pack.
1.) Once the charger is plugged into the main power supply, the charging
process starts immediately, which will be indicated by a yellow shining LED
indication light, regardless of whether a battery pack is connected or not.
2.) You can now connect the battery pack to the charger. The charging process
starts again, thereby the yellow LED indication light remains yellow. The
batteries will be charged.
3.) As soon the LED indication light shines green, the charging process is
finished, the batteries are fully charged and the charger switches into
preserving mode. An overcharging of the batteries is not possible.
4.) By disconnecting the battery pack from the charger, the LED indication
light remains green and indicates then the operational readiness of the
charger.
5.) A new charging process starts when the battery pack will be connected
again, the LED indication light shines yellow again until the batteries are fully
charged and switches afterwards to green as well.
6.) As long as the charger remains plugged in the main power supply, the
steps described in point 5.) are performed. If the charger will be removed
from the main power supply and plugged in again, firstly the steps described
in point 1.) and afterwards the next steps will follow.
Do not remove the battery pack from the charger during the charging
process!
