Led Operation Codes; Led Fault Codes; Understanding The Charger; Maintenance Instructions - Ezgo 2010 TXT 48 FLEET Owner's Manual

Read all of manual to become familiar with this vehicle. Pay attention to all NOTICES, CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and DANGERS.
To prevent a physical hazard that could result
in an electrical shock or electrocution, be sure
that the charger plug is not damaged and is
inserted into a grounded receptacle.
The power (AC) cord is equipped with a
grounded plug. Do not attempt to pull out, cut
or bend the ground post.
The charging (DC) cord is
equipped with a polarized
connector that fits into a
matching receptacle on the
vehicle. The receptacle is lo-
cated on the driver side of
the vehicle just below the
seat bottom.

NOTICE
If vehicle is to be charged with a non E-Z-GO charger, refer to
the instructions supplied with the charger.

Understanding the Charger

Plugging the charger into the vehicle's charger recepta-
cle will lock the vehicle out of operation. When the
charger is plugged into the vehicle's charger receptacle,
the charger will automatically turn on and the charger's
LED and the vehicle receptacle's LED will start flashing
GREEN to indicate the batteries are charging.
Once a minimum battery voltage of 2 volts per cell (Vpc)
is reached, the charger's output current will change from
a full current charge to the trickle rated charging current.
The length of charge time will vary by how depleted the
batteries are, the input AC voltage, and/or charger am-
bient temperatures. The charger's LED will give a
SHORT flash if the charge is less than 80% and a
LONG flash if the charge is greater than 80%. If the
charger's LED is a steady GREEN the batteries are fully
charged and the charger may be unplugged, although
not necessary. The charger may be left plugged in for
long periods of time to maintain the batteries charge lev-
el.
If a fault occurred anytime during the charging the
charger's LED will quickly flash RED. The specific fault
OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
is indicated by the number of RED flashes that occur,
there will be a pause and then the flashes will repeat
again. There are several possible conditions that will
generate errors. Some errors will require human inter-
vention to first resolve the problem and then reset the
charger by unplugging the DC cord from the vehicle.
If the AC voltage is interrupted and restored, the charg-
er will turn back on automatically.

LED Operation Codes:

SHORT GREEN FLASH = less than 80% charged
LONG GREEN FLASH = more than 80% charged
SOLID GREEN = 100% charged
RED FLASH = fault code

LED Fault Codes:

RED FLASH: Light turns on briefly, but does not
flash after that - check for valid AC voltage.
ONE RED FLASH: One flash, a pause and then
again one flash and a pause - Charge Enable
Fault: poor contact in the DC connector or dirty
contacts or Battery Temperature Fault: battery
temperature is greater than 122° F (50° C) or less
than 14° F (-10° C).
TWO RED FLASHES: Two flashes, a pause and
then again two flashes and a pause - Battery Volt-
age Fault: Battery pack is less than 36.0 Volts or
more than 67.2 Volts. Battery pack is too dis-
charged or over charged for the charger to work.
THREE RED FLASHES: Three flashes, a pause
and then again three flashes and a pause - Bat-
tery Charge Time-out: Charge time exceeded 24
hours. This may indicate a problem with the bat-
tery pack or that the charger output current was
severely reduced due to high ambient tempera-
tures.
FOUR RED FLASHES: Four flashes, a pause
and then again four flashes and a pause - Battery
Fault: Charge time exceeded. This indicates a
problem with the battery pack voltage not reach-
ing the required nominal level within the maxi-
mum time allowed.
SIX RED FLASHES: Six flashes, a pause and
then again six flashes and a pause - Charger
Fault: An internal fault has been detected. If this
fault is displayed again after unplugging the
charger's DC power cord and plugging it back in,
the charger must be taken to a qualified service
center.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1. For flooded lead-acid batteries, regularly check the
water levels of each battery cell after charging and
add distilled water as required to the level specified by
the battery manufacturer. Follow the safety instruc-
