– If you install a lead acid battery, use Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries for electrical
equipment that it will discharge and charge the battery regularly.
– Batteries that are not sealed must have a vent pipe installed to let gas out of the vehicle.
– Consider the use of lithium ion type batteries, this will save weight.
If you install additional batteries you must install a disconnect relay or a mechanical master
switch. The relay or switch will allow the operator to switch off equipment installed by the
converter if there is an electrical fault.
Battery Monitoring Sensor (BMS)
The BMS is attached the 12V battery negative terminal, it monitors the condition of the 12V
battery. Do not permanently remove the BMS sensor.
Battery Guard
If you install additional electrical components in the conversion it is recommended you install a
battery guard. A battery guard will stop the additional electrical loads from discharging the 12V
battery.
Climate Control System
WARNING
Do not make changes to the climate control system.
The vehicle has air conditioning and a climate control system. The air conditioning compressor
is a High Voltage (HV) electric component, it is not driven by the engine. When the engine is off
the the HV coolant heater can supply warm coolant to the heater matrix to heat air for the
passenger compartment. For information on how to operate the climate control system refer to
the operators manual.
If it is necessary to remove any of the climate control system components for access in the
conversion, you must refer to the correct procedure in the workshop manual.
NOTE
For additional information or technical support contact Aftersales@LEVC.com.
Do not obstruct the air intakes for the climate control system, refer to Cooling and air intakes,
page 19.
Instrument Panel, Displays and Operator Controls
WARNING
Do not make changes to the instrument cluster, centre console display or the
wiring harness.
Do not install components that will obstruct the operators view or access to the instrument
cluster, touch screen display or buttons.
