Battery connector and charging
To charge the battery, disconnect the battery con-
nector and connect it to the battery charger. The
battery connector should also be disconnected in
the following situations to cut the power supply:
In the event of an accident.
In connection with welding work.
If the truck will not be used for 3 days.
It is a 80 A battery connector. For further instructions on maintenance of the battery
and charger as well as change of battery, see Technical information.
Chargers
A wide choice of battery chargers is available on the market. These chargers can
largely be divided into two types: Conventional transformer chargers, typically
unregulated, and High Frequency (HF) chargers with regulated operation and thus
a possibility to control the charging process.
The charger must be adapted to the battery. If GEL batteries are used, a regulated
charger suited for GEL battery charging must be used. Additionally, for uninter-
rupted battery warranty cover, battery manufacturers require that a charger appro-
ved by them is used. Lead-acid batteries are not as sensitive in terms of charger
selection.
Feature
Different types of chargers provide different characteristics:
Conventional, unregulated chargers are sensitive to line voltage uctuations. As
a result, the charging duration can vary, however, these chargers are cost-effec-
tive.
HF chargers are not as sensitive to uctuations in the line voltage, and they are
able to carefully control the charging process and as a result the charging dura-
tion.
Benet
The choice of charger best suited for the intended application depends on the fol-
lowing:
If cost is a key issue, a conventional charger can be used.
If the charging duration is decisive (e.g. 8 hours or less), then an HF charger is
preferable
