FAST CHARGE RECEPTACLE

The following information applies to use of the fast charge receptacle. See page
38 for information that applies to the use of the standard charge receptacle.
Enhanced standard charge cord will not insert into the fast charge receptacle
1. Always use SAE J1772 approved charge stations and connectors.
2. To begin charging, align and insert the charge station connector into the
receptacle until it latches.
3. The lights on the charge station will indicate charging when the connection is
made.
4. To remove the connector after the charge cycle is complete, press the

ALTERNATE BATTERY CHARGING METHOD

The following only applies to Flooded or AGM Batteries. Do not attempt to
charge Li Ion batteries with a charger other than the one on-board the vehicle.
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. Use the alternate
charging method to add a small charge to each battery separately. The on-board
charger will then activate properly to recharge all batteries to a full charge.
Use a 12-volt battery charger to charge 12-volt batteries. Charge each battery
individually.
Use a 12-volt charger to charge 6-volt batteries. Charge in four groups, each
consisting of two sequentially wired batteries.
1. Set the battery charger to the medium amp setting (10 to 30 amps).
2. Charge each battery for 10-20 minutes.
3. Move quickly from battery to battery, as this is only a residual charge and it
will dissipate in a short period of time.
4. After charging the last battery, remove the off-board charger leads and plug
the vehicle in.
5. If the on-board charger does not recognize the residual charge and activate,
repeat the alternate charging method.
