The charger communication electronics are DC powered, so the charger must be
connected to the battery pack in order to communicate with it via Bluetooth. The
charger was connected to the battery pack from the manufacturer. Open the
ChargerConnect app and select the charger from the list of available units the app
is able to communicate with. The Charger ID has been previously changed via the
app to reflect the serial # of your Cyclone SS. While connected, the Red, Yellow,
and Green LEDs on the charger will slowly blink at the same time until the
Bluetooth communication is disconnected form the charger.
On-Board Charger Operation
1. Ensure that your Cyclone SS that the charger is mounted on is turned off by
pushing the red Emergency Stop button down.
2. Connect the charger AC power cord to an appropriate live AC outlet which
is indicated by the blue "AC PRESENT" LED turning on. The charger will
start automatically as indicated by the yellow "CHARGE STATUS" LED
beginning to blink slowly.
3. Do not disconnect the charger from the batteries while a charge cycle is in
progress.
4. The charge cycle 80% point is indicated by the yellow LED beginning to
blink quickly.
5. The Finish charge cycle phase is indicated by the solid illumination of the
yellow LED.
6. An extended Balance/Equalize charge cycle phase is indicated by the green
"CHARGE COMPLETE" LED beginning to blink quickly.
7. The charger automatically terminates the charge cycle when a battery
reaches full charge, which is indicated by the solid illumination of the green
LED or the green LED beginning to blink slowly indicating a post-charge
phase. Before operating the Cyclone, disconnect the charger AC power cord
from the outlet.
8. Do NOT disconnect the charger from the batteries or from the AC power
until your Cyclone is needed for use. Disconnecting and reconnecting the
charger from the batteries or AC power may start a charge cycle, but
disconnection disrupts the storage mode so optimum battery maintenance is
not achieved.
Storage Mode is designed to keep your battery maintained during storage periods
that last a few weeks to several months at a time. Leaving the on-board charger
plugged in will not harm the batteries and is preferred as they will maintain and
charge the batteries when needed. The Lifeline® AGM batteries in your machine
