SPECIFIC GRAVITY ELECTROLYTE FREEZING POINT
Before charging, the following should be observed:
Do not overfill batteries. The charging cycle will expel electrolyte and result in component damage.
• The electrolyte level in all cells must be at the recommended level and cover the plates.
• The charging must take place in an area that is well ventilated and capable of removing the hydrogen gas that
is generated by the charging process. A minimum of five air exchanges per hour is recommended.
• The charging connector components must be in good condition and free from dirt or debris.
• The charger connector must be fully inserted into the vehicle receptacle.
• The charger connector/cord set is protected from damage and is located in an area to prevent injury that may
result from personnel running over or tripping over the cord set.
• The charger is automatically turned off during the connect/disconnect cycle and therefore no electrical arc is
generated at the DC plug/receptacle contacts.
In some portable chargers, there will be a rattle present in the body of the charger DC plug. This rattle is caused by an
internal magnet contained within the charger plug. The magnet is part of the interlock system that prevents the vehicle
from being driven when the charger plug is inserted in the vehicle charging receptacle.

AC Voltage

Battery charger output is directly related to the input voltage. If multiple vehicles are receiving an incomplete charge
in a normally adequate time period, low AC voltage could be the cause and the power company should be consulted.

Troubleshooting

In general, troubleshooting will be done for two distinct reasons. First, a battery that performs poorly and is outside of
the manufacturers specification should be identified in order to replace it under the terms of the manufacturer's war-
ranty. Different manufacturers have different requirements. Consult the battery manufacturer or the manufacturer's
representative for specific requirements.
