Figure 3-1: Standard Battery Profile Codes and Their Corresponding Battery Profiles (Continued)
Battery manufacturers frequently use the same battery cases for different battery types. Wet/flooded
batteries have removable cell caps. Water electrolyzed by discharging and charging the battery is replaced
through these openings. Sealed batteries are generally distinguished by non-removable cell caps. The
physical appearance of the battery case is frequently the same as a wet battery, though the cell caps are
generally not removable. Refer to the battery manufacturer's information panel on the battery case to
determine the type battery you have. If the information panel is missing or not legible, do not use the battery.
4. OFF-BOARD (SHELF) VERSUS ON-BOARD (BUILT-IN) CHARGERS
4.1 Off-Board Chargers
Off-board chargers are designed to be used in shelf or portable applications. If the AC input plug is
connected to AC power, a new charge cycle automatically starts when the DC output is connected to a
battery pack of the proper voltage. Disconnecting and reconnecting AC power while the DC output remains
connected to a battery pack WILL NOT automatically start a new charge cycle. Disconnecting the DC output
from the battery pack IS REQUIRED to automatically start a new charge cycle.
4.2 On-Board Chargers
On-board chargers are designed to be mounted on electric vehicles/equipment. If the DC output is connected
to a battery pack of the proper voltage, a charge cycle automatically starts when the AC input plug is
connected to AC power (unless a safety period of time has not passed since the successful completion of the
previous charge cycle). Disconnecting the DC output from the battery pack is NOT REQUIRED to
automatically start a new charge cycle.
5. AC INPUT
The charger has an AC input rating of 100-230 volts, 50-60 hertz, single-phase. The charger has an AC
operating range of 90-264 volts, 45-65 hertz. Below 100 volts, the charger may reduce output power.
The charger is equipped with an IEC inlet for the AC input power. This allows the AC power cord to be
selected with a proper plug to be compatible with the local wall outlets. An optional AC cord clamp is available
to retain the AC power cord.
The charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock and is equipped with an IEC inlet having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding socket. The installed AC power cord must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all applicable electrical codes and
ordinances.
If this charger includes the UL Listed symbol on its ratings label, it is provided with a cord set for connection to
outlets operating at nominal 120 volts (or 240 volts as appropriate). If the input plug does not fit the power
outlet, contact Lester Electrical for the proper cord set terminating in an attachment plug of the proper
configuration for the power outlet.
