CHARGER CONNECTED
The charger connected icon and state of charge/Battery Discharge Indicator gauge turns on
approximately 8-10 seconds after the extension cord is plugged in. After charging is 100%
complete, the charger connected icon will be the only thing lit and the bar graph will not be
illuminated. A green light on the charger itself will also illuminate when the car is 100% charged.
To know if the charging process is complete, all ten bars on the state of charge indicator should
be illuminated when the car is turned on. If the charger cord is plugged in and neither the
charger connected icon nor the state of charge/battery discharge indicators are not illuminated,
the charger may not be charging. If this occurs, make sure the main disconnect switch is in
the ’ON’ position. More information on the charger and charging of the batteries is discussed
on pages 76-81.
STATE OF CHARGE/BATTERY DISCHARGE INDICATOR
The state of charge indicator shows how much capacity remains in the battery pack. There are
10 bars: 1 red, 1 yellow, and 8 green. After a full charge all the bars should be illuminated when
the car is turned on. The far right green bar will be the rst to turn off once the battery pack
voltage begins to drop. The percent of charge corresponding to each bar is shown below.
Bar Color % Of Full Charge
1 Red (Far Left) Less Than 10
2 Yellow 10-20
3 Green 20-30
4 Green 30-40
5 Green 40-50
6 Green 50-60
7 Green 60-70
8 Green 70-80
9 Green 80-90
10 Green (Far Right) 90-100
