Charging Batteries - Hummer H3 2015 Owner's Manual

Charging Batteries

Be sure that the "Key Switch" is in the "OFF" position prior to charging.
1. Your vehicle is equipped with an on board charger. To begin charging the
batteries, insert a UL approved 3 prong extension cord into any 110volt outlet
and plug the other end into the charging cord receptacle located below the
"Forward – Neutral - Reverse Switch".
(Refer to supplied "Battery Charger Manual" and "Charging Procedures Manual"
for further information regarding the operation of the charger.)
2. Your charger has an on-board computer that is actuated when the charger is
plugged in. The charger will turn on automatically and when the optimum
amount of energy to charge your batteries has been delivered the charger will
turn itself off. As long as the charger is left plugged in until it turns itself off, over
and under charging will be avoided.
NOTE:
The first time your batteries are charged, the approximate time of charge will
be 21-25 hours. The Charger features a microprocessor controller that reads
the battery banks so that it knows what the optimum capacities of each
battery are. After the first charge, the average charging time is 7-8 hours.
Batteries should be charged even if they have only been used for a short period of
time. The charger will turn on and off automatically when the batteries are fully
charged.
Never charge batteries if plates are exposed above water level.
Batteries can be permanently damaged (and the battery warranty
voided) if allowed to remain 30 days or more with low charge.
Fully charge batteries before storing.
• In hot climates, battery self-discharge will increase.
• In cold climates, batteries could freeze if not properly charged.
If the vehicle will not be used for 10 or more days, leave the car plugged in.
