recommended. For maximum battery
life, it is recommended that the batteries
be discharged a minimum of 30%
(7 bars showing on the BSI) before
starting a charging cycle.
This charger requires a standard household
electrical circuit rated at minimum of 15 Amps.
Consult an authorized electrician if you do not
know the configuration of your circuits.
1. Park the vehicle at an authorized
charging station. Refer to Parking in the
Driving section.
2. Connect the charging cord to the AC
power receptacle.
3. The charger status LED's will flash in
sequence as the charger performs a self
diagnosis and systems check.
4. The charger will start the charging cycle
only after it has determined that all
systems are OK.

A beeping noise from the charger is an
indication of a fault during the charging cycle.
Refer below for fault information.
There is a status light panel on the charger
faceplate that displays the current status of
the charger. The first light on the left (POWER)
should be ON when the AC cord is connected
to a working AC power source.
The three STATUS LED lights will indicate the
current charging condition as follows:
• Left: Charge cycle is ON and is in
constant current mode.
• Left & Middle (80%): Charge cycle is
ON and is in constant voltage mode.
• Right (100%): Charge cycle completed.
The FAULT light will turn ON and flash a fault
code only if an abnormal charging condition
has occurred. Refer to the following fault code
table for more information.
Note: Critical faults will be accompanied with
