NSS Wrangler 2730 DB, Руководство по эксплуатации, Страница: 13 / 56

Changing the Battery Type Setting
The standard setting for the onboard battery charger is
Flooded/AGM. EXCEPTION: If your machine was
ordered from NSS equipped with Crown AGM or Gel
batteries, then the charger was configured for Gel
batteries at the factory.
Configuring the Charger for Gel batteries:
1. Remove the top cover.
2. Pull the jumper off the 2-pin connector (position 1),
and then move the jumper to position 2 on only one
pin of the 2-pin connector. See photo below.
3. Reinstall the top cover.
Configure the Charger for Flooded/AGM batteries
1. Remove the top cover
2. Pull the jumper from the 2-pin connector, and install
the jumper at position 1 (on both pins of 2-pin
connector).
3. Reinstall the top cover.
Operating the Battery Charger
CAUTION: DIFFERENT BATTERY TYPES HAVE
DIFFERENT CHARGING REQUIREMENTS. FAILURE
TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY YOUR BATTERY TYPE
AND SET THE CHARGER ACCORDINGLY WILL
RESULT IN BATTERY DAMAGE, AND VOID THE
WARRANTY.
The battery charger is fully automatic. Simply plug the
charger into a suitable wall outlet, and the charger will
charge the batteries. The green 100% LED will be
continuously illuminated when the charge cycle is
complete.
A bubbling, or boiling sound coming from the batteries
during the last few hours of the charge is normal. The
batteries may be warm, but not too hot to touch.
Equalizing the batteries (Flooded only)
The batteries should be equalized once every 30 days
to ensure maximum battery life.
To equalize the batteries:

Plug in the charger, and fully charge the batteries
(until the green 100% LED is on continuously).

Unplug the charger from the wall outlet, then plug it
back in.

The charger will run for 2 hrs, holding the batteries
at a constant voltage, and equalizing each cell.
Battery Do’s and Don’ts
:
a. You do not have to fully discharge the batteries
before charging. They do not have a “memory”.
b. Plug the charger in anytime the machine is not in
use.
c. NEVER let the electrolyte level fall below the tops of
the plates (flooded cell batteries). This will damage
your batteries almost immediately, and void the
battery warranty. They can tell if this happened.
d. NEVER refill the batteries with well or tap water
(flooded cell batteries).
e. NEVER overfill the batteries (flooded cell batteries).
f. NEVER let the batteries sit discharged overnight (or
between shifts).
g. ALWAYS check the electrolyte level about every 3
or 4 charge/discharge cycles BEFORE CHARGING .
h. ALWAYS refill the batteries with distilled water (if
needed) AFTER CHARGING .
i. ALWAYS fully recharge the batteries after use (until
the green LED comes on).
j. ALWAYS equalize the batteries (Flooded only)
every 30 days.
k. NEVER OVER DISCHARGE!
l. NEVER charge GEL batteries with the charger set to
FLOODED/AGM.
m. NEVER charge FLOODED/AGM batteries with the
charger set to GEL. EXCEPTION-CROWN
ANDTROJAN AGM’S TO BE CHARGED WITH
GEL SETTING.
Opportunity Charging
Opportunity charging is charging the batteries when an
opportunity presents itself, such as during breaks, and
is done
in addition to a full charge cycle .
Opportunity charging is recommended, as this extra
charging time will help raise the operating voltage of the
batteries, and will help ensure maximum cycle life.
