4.2 Charger
The work platform on-board electronic charger is
designed to automatically charge 24 VDC (wet) lead-
acid rechargeable batteries.
DANGER
Lead-aci d batteries may emi t hig hly
explosive gases. The emission is greatly
increased during charging. Never introduce
flames, sparks, or other sources of ignition
to battery area. Failure to comply with this
warning could result in death or injury to
personnel. Always charge batteries in a well-
ventilated area.
DANGER
Do not disconnect battery plug when the
charger is ON. The resulting arcing and
burning could cause battery to explode.
NOTE
It is not necessary to charge the battery if
the electrolyte specific gravity has not
dropped under 1.240 kg/l. Regular charge of
a battery when its specific gravity is higher
than 1.240 kg/l can greatly reduce the battery
life time.
NOTE
The charger has an interlock feature which
causes the work platform power circuit to
open anytime the charger is plugged into a
live AC outlet.
NOTE
It is important to perform an equalisation
charge regularly to equalise electrolyte
specific gravity in all battery cells. The
equalisation charge takes place at the end
of the charge cycle (Fulmen and SGTE
chargers only).
NOTE
If a power cut occurs during the charge cycle,
the charger switches to a waiting mode and
restarts automatically as soon as the power
returns.
