Charging the Power Supply Battery
Before placing a Metro

with the MPS-3111 Series SLA Power Supply, the power supply battery should be initially
charged for a full 24 hours. To charge the battery, plug the coiled AC power cord into an AC
outlet and put the ON/Extended Storage Switch into the “ON” position (see “Powering Up the
MPS-3111 SLA Power Supply” below). For further information on the charge indicator lights of
the Remote Fuel Gauge, please refer to the “Remote Fuel Gauge” section below.
After the initial charge, a completely discharged battery charges in 4 to 6 hours.
