BATTERY CHARGER FOR 7555
DESCRIPTION
Type of charger: Smithco model number 832-216-A for AGM Batteries or 832-216-W for wet cell
batteries.
The battery charger is semi-automatic and is designed specifically for charging electric vehicle
batteries.
The charger type is known as a ferroresonant. The term ferroresonant is applied to a charge
that starts the charge at a relatively high rate of charge and continuously reduces the rate as the
battery or batteries become nearer the full charge condition. When batteries are fully charged
the charger will automatically shut off.
If charger does not start charging after being plugged in then check these points.
1. Connection maybe loose. Check all connections making sure they are clean and
secure.
2. Charge on batteries is too low. If the charge on the batteries is below 2 volts, they will
need to be charged individually to bring the total charge of all batteries to a total of at
least 15 volts. This should allow the charger to pickup and charge. Note: If (3) batteries
have 5 volts of charge and (1) battery has 1 volt of charge then the charger may not
charge.
CHARGER INSTALLATION
Each charger requires an input of a dedicated 110
– 120 volt AC 60 cycle 15 Amp circuit.
!!!WARNING!!!
PORTABLE CHARGERS SHOULD BE MOUNTED ON A PLATFORM ABOVE THE
GROUND, OR IN SUCH A MANNER AS TO PERMIT THE MAXIMUM AIR FLOW
UNDERNEATH AND AROUND THE CHARGER. IF THE CHARGER IS MOUNTED IN SUCH
A MANNER THAT SUFFICIENT AIR FLOW IS PREVENTED FROM ENTERING THE
LOUVERS, OVERHEATING MAY RESULT WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO
THE CHARGER AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE.
If the charger is operated in an outdoor location, rain and sun protection must be provided.
The charging DC cord is equipped with a polarized connector which fits into a matching
receptacle on the vehicle.
The power AC cord is equipped with a standard three prong UL listed grounded type plug.
Electrical outlet receptacles installed for use at the battery charging locations must be of the
three prong grounded type (NEMA 15-5R), which will ground the charger to eliminate any
electrical hazard.
