Alternate Battery Charging Method

If the combined voltage of all batteries reaches 68 volts or less, a safety feature in the on- board charger will not allow the charger to activate. Use the alternate charging method to add a small charge to each battery separately. The on-board charger will then activate properly to recharge all batteries to a full charge.

Use a 12-volt battery charger to charge 12-volt batteries. Charge each battery individually.

Use a 24-volt charger to charge 8-volt batteries. Charge in 3 groups, each consisting of 3 sequentially wired batteries.

Tip: It is not necessary to remove or disconnect battery post connections during the alternate charging method.
