Battery Maintenance Section 3 - Operation

3.12 Battery Maintenance

This section provides the operator with procedures on how to service and charge the battery. This also provides charger operation instructions.

3.12-1 Battery Service Procedure

WARNING

Explosion Hazard - Keep flames and sparks away. Do not smoke near

batteries.

WARNING

Battery acid is extremely corrosive - Wear proper eye and facial protection as well as appropriate protective clothing. If contact occurs, immediately flush with cold water

and seek medical attention.

1. Turn main power disconnect switch to “ ” off position.

2. Check battery case for damage.

3. Check battery fluid level in each battery. If plates are not covered by at least 1/2” (13 mm) of solution, add distilled or demineralized water.

4. Clean battery terminals and cable ends thoroughly with a terminal cleaning tool or wire brush.

5. Make sure all battery connections are tight.

6. Replace any battery that is damaged or incapable of holding a lasting charge.

7. Do not use any batteries other than flooded leadacid batteries of the proper Ah rating.

3.12-2 Battery Charging Operation

Figure 3-15. Battery Charger

DANGER

Risk of electric shock - Do not immerse the charger in water. Though the charger is highly resistant to water, it is not designed for immersion and an electric

shock can occur.

1. Provide adequate ventilation for the batteries and charger. The convection cooled design requires access to cooling air for proper operation. Do not allow blankets or other materials to cover the charger. Although the charger protects itself against overheating, the charger cooling fins should be cleaned if clogged with debris for best performance.

WARNING

There could be a spark during charging. Be careful when using fuels, solvents or other flammables near the charger or

batteries.

2. Connect the power supply cord to a properly grounded 100V/50 or 60Hz, 115V/50 or 60Hz, or 230V/50 or 60Hz socket. This charger automatically senses and adjusts to the AC input voltage range.

WARNING

Use original or equivalent to the original parts and components for the aerial

platform.

Page 46

CAUTION

When changing the input voltage wait until all the LEDs are OFF or wait a minimum of 20 seconds before switching

on the new voltage.

Vertical Mast

Page 47

Section 3 - Operation Battery Maintenance

60133AA

3. The charging time is affected by numerous factors including battery Amp-Hour capacity, depth of discharge, battery temperature, and battery condition (new, old or defective). Batteries larger than 240 AH can be recharged but will take longer.

WARNING

Do not disconnect the DC output wires near the batteries when the charger is ON. The resulting arcing could cause the batteries to explode. If the charger must be disconnected, first disconnect the AC power supply cord from its outlet, then disconnect the charger DC connections.

WARNING

Risk of an electric shock - Do not touch un-insulated parts of the charger output wires, battery connector, or battery

terminals.

WARNING

Visually and manually inspect to verify the DC output wires and terminals are in good working condition before each use.

3 LEDs blink once simultaneously:

Output connection error. Check the battery and charger connection. The output may not be connected to the batteries or the connections to the batteries may have corroded or loosened. The output may be shorted due to improper connection to the batteries or pinched wires. The output may be connected in reverse polarity to the batteries. The charger is not damaged by any of these problems.

3 LEDs blink twice simultaneously:

The charger is indicating that the AC voltage is too low or too high. Check the AC input voltage.

3 LEDs blink three times simultaneously:

Charger is overheated. No action required. When the charger cools, charging will restart automatically. Check and correct for dirt or other debris on charger that may be reducing cooling.

3 LEDs blink four times simultaneously:

Input or output over current. No action required, charger will correct and restart automatically.

100% LED lamp blinks:

Charger 18-hour timer has timed out due to battery problem.

4. The charger will start automatically within four to six seconds. The charger will start even with severely discharged batteries (down to 1V terminal voltage). Once charging starts, the LEDs indicate the charging progress.

Charging State LED

State of charge 1ST LED 2ND LED 3RD LED

0 to 50% Blinking Off Off

50% to 75% On Blinking Off

75% to 100% On On Blinking

100% On On On

The charger goes into an equalizing charge mode after the batteries are charged and all 3 LEDs are “ON”. The charger will continue to charge at a low current then shut off automatically when complete. If all 3 LEDs blink together, there is a problem.

Take proper action according to the following instructions:

Batteries do not fully charge.

If the batteries are charged overnight, make sure the AC supply is not being switched off at night with other building items. Check battery condition and for dead cells or reduced capacity. Replace charger only if other problems are not found.

The AC line circuit breaker or fuse is blown.

A defective circuit breaker or fuse, an overloaded circuit, or a charger problem can cause this condition. Try connecting the charger to a different AC outlet (on a different circuit) in the building. If the AC supply

checks good, the charger should be replaced.
