OPERATING PROCEDURES
Understand the Charger
The vehicle is equipped with an on-board charger and DC to DC converter to power 12 volt accessories. This
allows your accessories to draw from the full battery pack, so that one battery is not damaged due to the
increased current draw on a single battery.
The charger automatically starts as the AC plug is plugged into the receptacle. NOTE: a spark may be visible
when as the plug is connected, this is normal and not a safety issue. The charger must be connected to a
dedicated 15-amp (minimum) circuit.
Within two seconds after the AC plug has been engaged, the receptacle LED shall perform a <3 second
RED/GREEN self-test flash. The receptacle LED will then flash SHORT GREEN to indicate “CHARGING
<80%” and a low charge current shall be applied for a minimum of five seconds until the battery voltage
reaches a minimum 1.95Vpc, or a time-out error condition has occurred. Receptacle LED will flash SHORT
AMBER if charger is operating in reduced output mode due to thermal cutback.
The charger output will turn off and the receptacle LED will continuously illuminate GREEN to indicate
‘CHARGED’. If left plugged into the vehicle, the charger will automatically restart if the battery pack drops
below 2.08 Vpc (Volts per cell).
