Specific Wet Cell Battery Information
Wet Cell Battery Specifications
• Use a combination of multiple 2-volt cell units to construct a 24-volt DC battery pack system.
• The battery pack capacity recommended by Clarke is a 238 AH @ 20 Hour Rate deep cycle battery system.
Note: ThebatterypackmustfitthebatterycompartmentaslistedintheTechnical Specifications.
Wet Cell Battery Charger Specifications
• Use a 24-volt DC output charger matching the DC battery pack voltage and the input AC line voltage supply being
used.
• When selecting a battery charger always follow the recommendation of the battery supplier to match the correct
charger DC output amperage to the amp/hour rating batteries being installed. This will prevent the battery pack from
being over or under charged.
