to operate the Terminator

It is also good practice to leave this main power connector un-
plugged during storage.
Live leads can cause arcing and sparks which could cause an
explosion if battery gases are present, please check that the
main contactor/disconnector is not in the on position when you
connect or disconnect the battery terminal plug. In addition, the
battery connector terminals will became pitted over time result-
ing in poor connections and increased heat generation in the
battery leads and connectors.
Basic Charging Facts
• Proper charging is essential for maximum battery life.
• In general, the proper charging rate is any rate that does not
produce a battery temperature higher than 115F or 46C, and
or does not produce excessive gassing.
* The Terminator
®
2100XME is supplied with a QuiQ 18 Amp
charging unit, which has been sized to give optimum charging
time without causing excessive heating or off gassing.
* Do not use a 12v battery charger on the Terminator
®
2100XME
battery pack this will cause damage to the charger as well as
the battery pack.
* When a discharged battery is initially placed on charge, it will
draw a current equal to or close to the chargers maximum out-
put. As the battery voltage rises back to its rated voltage the
chargers output will adjust down automatically to assure a safe,
efficient charging rate during all stages of the charge
* The QuiQ Charger is designed to start and stop so as not
to under or over charge the battery pack. The “smart” charger
has a computerized control unit, which can determine when the
battery is fully charged and then automatically end the charge
cycle.
Standard Re-charge : After a battery has undergone a normal full
shift and has been fully or partially discharged, it must undergo
a standard charge. Normally a standard recharge is based on
an 8-hour charging cycle.
The Charging Process
During the charging process, the sulfate (from the sulfuric acid)
in the battery lead plates, which is accumulated during the dis-
charge and use process, is driven back into the electrolyte. This
increases the specific gravity and brings the on-charge volt-
ages up to 2.50-2.75V per cell depending on the battery age.
Temporary Storage Of Battery Pack
When the battery pack is fully charged the Terminator
®
2100XME
can be stored for up to a year. It should be stored in a cool dry,
well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If a battery pack
needs to be stored for several months or longer, a refreshing
charge should be performed prior to its stored. If the average
storage temperature is below 68°F (20°C), check the batteries
at least once every two months. If the average temperature is
above 68°F (20°C) check it every month
To obtain maximum service life from your battery pack, care
should be taken to not operate the battery pack over 115° F
(46°C) as well as not to run the battery pack below 80% of nom-
inal voltage. (The controller onboard the Terminator
®
2100XME
will shut the power down if this limit is reached).
First Aid
First Aid for Acid Splashes
Eyes : Flush immediately with gently running water for at least
15 minutes, then see a doctor as quickly as possible. For con-
tact lens wearers, remove the lens before the eyes are flushed.
A buffering or neutralizing agent should not be used in the eyes
