CHARGING BATTERIES

WARNING
•
Do not rock or bend the plug. To connect the charger plug to the vehicle
receptacle, grasp the plug handle and push the plug straight into the
receptacle.
•
Do not pull on the DC cord. Do not twist, rock or bend the plug. To
disconnect the charger plug from the vehicle receptacle, grasp the plug by
the handle and pull the plug straight out of the receptacle.
•
Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases.
Discard the battery in accordance with all environmental laws or return to an
authorized Royal EV dealer. Frozen batteries can explode.
•
Do not use a charger if any of the following conditions exist:
−
The plug is too loose or does not make a good connection.
−
The plug and receptacle feel hotter than normal during charge.
−
The plug pins or receptacle contacts are bent or corroded.
−
The plug, receptacle, or cords are cut, worn, have any exposed wires
or are damaged in any way.
•
Using the charger with any of the above symptoms could result in a fire,
property damage, personal injury, or death.
CAUTION
•
On all vehicles, turn off all accessories before charging batteries.
•
The battery charger provided with this vehicle is approved for use only with
the battery type originally shipped with the vehicle. Using a different battery
type (different brand, different capacity, etc.) can cause under or
overcharging and subsequent battery damage unless the charger is first
reprogrammed with a new charging algorithm. Royal EV recommends only
OEM replacement batteries. Contact your authorized Royal EV dealer with
any questions about battery and charger compatibility or algorithm updates.
NOTE: When temperatures fall below 65 °F (18.3 °C), batteries charged
in unheated areas should be placed on charge as soon as possible after
use. Batteries are warmest immediately after use, and cold batteries
require more time to fully charge (lead batteries only).
Because the charger has a storage charge feature that automatically
checks and recharges the batteries as necessary, the charger can
remain plugged to the vehicle throughout the storage period.(lead acid
battery)
For lithium batteries, it is recommended that after the battery is fully
charged, disconnect charge cord and turn off battery when not in use.
