Understand 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 visible when as
the plug is connected, this is normal and not a safety issue. The charger must be connected to a dedicated 15-amp (min-
imum) 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 cur-
rent 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.
