Battery Charging - GEM e2 2019 Owner's Manual

Avoid temperature extremes when choosing a storage area.
If the combined voltage of all batteries reaches 36 volts or less, a safety feature
in the on- board charger will not allow the charger to activate. If this occurs, use
the alternate charging method. See page 39.

BATTERY CHARGING

Your vehicle is equipped with either a standard charge receptacle or a fast
charge receptacle. The battery charge receptacle is located at the rear of the
hood, just below the windshield.
Using a non-recommended extension cord could result in fire, heat damage or
charger failure, which could result in serious injury or death. Always use the
recommended type of cord to charge the batteries.
Charging from a circuit of lesser capacity and/or using a cord from the outlet to
the vehicle that is not sufficient in wire gauge could create a fire hazard.
Failure to provide adequate ventilation while charging batteries can result in an
explosion. Hydrogen gas is emitted during charging and will rise and
accumulate at the ceiling. Always ensure a minimum of five (5) air changes per
hour in the charging area. Never charge the batteries in an area subject to a
flame or spark, including areas containing gas or propane water heaters and
Do not use a ground fault interrupt (GFI) type cord on a GFCI-protected outlet.
IMPORTANT
furnaces. Do not smoke in the charging area.
