Understanding the Charger
The vehicle is equipped with an on-board charger and DC to DC converter to power 12 volt accessories.
This allows your accessories to draw from the full battery pack, so that one battery is not damaged due to
the increased current draw on a single battery.
The charger automatically starts as the AC plug is plugged into the receptacle. NOTE: a spark may be visi-
ble when as the plug is connected, this is normal and not a safety issue. The charger must be connected
to a dedicated 15-amp (minimum) circuit.
Within two seconds after the AC plug has been engaged, the receptacle LED shall perform a <3 second
RED/GREEN self-test flash. The receptacle LED will then flash SHORT GREEN to indicate “CHARGING
<80%” and a low charge current shall be applied for a minimum of five seconds until the battery voltage
reaches a minimum 1.95Vpc, or a time-out error condition has occurred. Receptacle LED will flash SHORT
AMBER if charger is operating in reduced output mode due to thermal cutback.
The charger output will turn off and the receptacle LED will continuously illuminate GREEN to indicate
‘CHARGED’.
If left plugged into the vehicle, the charger will automatically restart if the battery pack drops below 2.08
Vpc (Volts per cell).
If the AC is removed, the charger will turn off the receptacle LED and the charger will terminate charging.
• Charger input voltage 95 to 230 VAC power.
• 9 Amp input current required.
• Frequency 45-65 hertz.
The charger will output 13A at 48V, and the DC to DC converter will output 30A at 12V.
