12.8.5 Built-in battery charger for charging on 
trucks
General
The truck can be equipped with an additional charger, which makes it 
possible to charge the batteries on board trucks with a 24 V electrical 
system.
This means that you don’t need to have access to a 230 V supply each 
day, as this form of charging provides extra power, even if the driving 
time between different loading/unloading locations is only 15-20 min
-
utes.
Please note that this charging function is supplementary and is not 
intended to replace charging using 230 V. At least once a week, or 
when the battery indicator indicates that charging is required, the bat
-
teries must be charged using 230 V for at least 10 hours.
The truck’s battery is given the highest priority during charging, and 
these are only charged when driving.
The charger is equipped with an ignition lock that prevents the truck 
being driven during charging. To prevent the batteries overheating and 
to optimise charging at different ambient temperatures, the charger is 
also equipped with temperature compensation.
The option includes a connection cable that can be connected to the 
truck’s rear lift. Please note that it is particularly important for the func
-
tion that the installation be implemented in accordance with the suppli-
er’s instructions.
Installation recommendations for ‘connection 
point’ on truck
• A fused standard ‘connection point’ on board the truck is required for 
the option to work.
• A good ‘connection point’ refers to a voltage feed for the rear lift, for 
example, or any other connection with at least a 16 mm
2
 cable.
• A 20 A fuse for the ‘connection point’ supply must be installed as 
close to the truck’s battery as possible.
• Check that there is adequate mechanical protection for any ‘connec-
tion point’ and/or installation cable.
• The ‘connection point’ may also be a sealed junction box or similar, 
which can be connected using the cable enclosed with the option.
