6. CHARGING
6.1 BACKGROUND
Trojan
®
GC2 48V Lithium-Ion batteries may be used in applications where lead-acid batteries have previously been
utilized. Best charging results are obtained by using an appropriate Trojan-recommended charger and charging profile
(algorithm). Refer to documentation on your specific charger for more information.
4.12 CAN BUS CONTINUED
A certified field service technician can update the battery firmware over the CAN bus to add features or enhancements.
The CAN bus interface is galvanically isolated from the internal battery voltages. Therefore, an external power source
is required to turn on and power the field side of the isolated CAN bus. Contact Trojan’s technical support engineers if
you have any questions about the CAN bus interface and its use. See Section 8: “Maximizing the Performance of Your
Battery” for technical support information.
