9. Battery charge
indicator
The icon will
illuminate when the
vehicle is connected
to an outside power
source to charge the batteries. The drive mode
selector switch should be in the OFF position
while the battery is charging.
Note: If this indicator is illuminated without the
vehicle being charged there is a charger problem.
The vehicle should be taken to an authorized
TH!NK dealer.
10. Battery level
indicator
The battery level
indicator shows the
power level remaining
in the batteries. Be
sure the vehicle is not charging when checking the
battery state of charge or the reading may be
incorrect. The battery level indicator shows full
whenever the vehicle is charging. Five bars are
illuminated when the batteries have a full charge.
At one bar, the battery outline will begin to flash.
The flashing frequency will increase as the state of
charge decreases. At low pack voltage, you may
see either five bars or zero bars with a flashing
outline. To maximize battery life, charge the
vehicle as soon as possible when the outline
begins to flash. When there are zero bars showing,
the batteries have been discharged to the point
where additional operation of your vehicle will
reduce battery life. Charge the vehicle batteries
immediately. If left uncharged, the batteries could
discharge to the point where the battery charger
will not turn on and battery damage may occur.
After a partial charge, the level may read higher
than it actually is. Driving a few miles will cause
the battery gauge to settle to an accurate level.
