Figure 7-1 PowerDrive 3 Battery Charger
The PowerDrive 3 battery charger is automatic and has no external controls. When the charger is connected,
there is a 2 to 15 second delay before charging begins.
NOTE: At one hour and at two hours into the charge cycle, the charger will shut off in order to run a self-
diagnostic program (ammeter will drop to zero). Charging will resume in a few moments (ammeter
returns to previous rate of charge).
The onboard computer, having recorded the amount of energy consumed as the vehicle was used, directs the
charger to replace exactly the amount of energy needed to fully replenish the batteries. The charger then
shuts off automatically, preventing the possibility of either undercharging or overcharging. The computer
accomplishes this by detecting when the exact amount of energy necessary has been returned to the batter-
ies.
