IMS2, IMS3, IMS4, IMS5 Operator Manual
Section 11.3: Shore Power Charging
The shore power outlet allows both the vehicle's and IMS's
batteries to charge from an A/C outlet via an extension
cord.
NOTICE: It is recommended the operator use shore power to
charge the lithium-iron batteries to 100% SOC at least once
per month, such as during regularly scheduled preventive
maintenance.
•
The shore power icon will be displayed and the green SOC
icon will flash on the screen any time the shore power
outlet is connected and charging the system, and the
ignition switch is on (even if the ignition is not on, if
equipped with certain settings, the shore power icon will
remain on the screen). If the ignition switch is not on, the
battery icon will continue to blink, but the shore power
icon will not be present; only the ZeroRPM logo will be
present.
•
As long as the shore power outlet is connected, the engine
will not start (unless the vehicle is equipped with an
auto-eject shore power plug). This feature helps prevent
the operator from driving the vehicle while an extension
cord is still connected.
WARNING: The auto-eject plug (if equipped) will eject rapidly
when the vehicle is started.
•
Once the extension cord is disconnected, the flashing
green SOC battery icon will disappear and the vehicle can
be started as usual.
•
The shore power will first charge the lithium-iron batteries
to 100%. For the remaining time on shore power, the
charger will maintain the lead-acid batteries.
•
The shore power will then charge the lithium-iron
batteries until meeting either of the following conditions
before switching back to charge the lead-acid batteries:
1.
The lithium-iron batteries have remained at or above 98%
SOC for one hour.
2.
The lithium-iron batteries have been charged for six hours.
NOTICE: If the shore power is connected while the engine is in
operation, the engine will be switched off automatically.
