Charger Troubleshooting
Reset charger power. See Resetting Power – External
Charger on page 15-15. Reconnect DC cord to vehicle.
If status goes away, continue using charger.
Ensure battery set is rated 48 volts and composed
of 24 cells. See Battery Voltage Using Multimeter
on page 15-20. If not, replace with correct battery
set. Reset charger power. See Resetting Power
– External Charger on page 15-15.
Ensure battery set is rated 48 volts and composed of 24

flow. Chargers stacked on top of or located too close
to each other. Move chargers farther apart. If issue
continues, wait for ambient temperature to cool or
relocate charger to a cooler environment.
Wait for ambient temperature to warm or relocate
charger to a warmer environment.
Inspect charger receptacle, receptacle harness
connections and DC cord connection to charger. See DC

Clean or tighten connections.
Reset charger power. See Resetting Power – External
Charger on page 15-15. Reconnect DC cord to vehicle.
If status goes away, proceed to charge again. See
Charger Output Test on page 15-22.
If status occurs again during the next charge cycle,
attempt to charge with another identical charger. If
charge is successful, proceed to step 2. If status
occurs again, troubleshoot the AC power supply,
vehicle and battery pack.
