BATTERY & CHARGING
If your machine is fitted with the fully automatic
charger, please read on. If your machine is fit-
ted with a different type, see documentation
which should have been included with the unit.
The Charger has the following advantages:
• Waterproof
• Capable of charging batteries when motor is
running.
• Dual voltage with auto select and indicator
light to show voltage selected.
• Short circuit protection
• Designed to withstand heavy vibration
• Modular design. The black box will control
12V, 24V, and 48V all at 30A outputs with
the appropriate transformer.
• Auto-boost to enable batteries to be kept in
optimum condition when machine is in stor-
age with charger connected.
OPERATION
When connected to the mains supply the output current will be shown in the display window.
With a 2/3 discharged battery the current will be in the region of 25A / 30A. (Bulk Phase Light
On)
When the battery voltage has reached gassing level (2.45V per cell) the timing phase will
start (Gas Phase Light On). This timing period is calculated as follows: 1/2 the time it took to
reach gassing level + 1 hour.
After the timing phase is completed the charger will switch itself into stand-by mode (Charge
Complete Light On)
Take care to properly secure the wires. If not you will end up as shown above. Burnt
terminals due to loose wires
