Changing the Battery Type Setting
The standard setting for the onboard battery charger
is Flooded/AGM. EXCEPTION: If your machine was
ordered from NSS equipped with Crown AGM or Gel
batteries, then the charger was configured for Gel
batteries at the factory.
Configuring the Charger for Gel batteries:
1. Remove the top cover.
2. Pull the jumper off the 2-pin connector (position 1),
and then move the jumper to position 2 on only
one pin of the 2-pin connector. See photo below.
3. Reinstall the top cover.
1. The green wire outputs a battery voltage when
the charger is not plugged in to AC to provide an
Interlock function.
2. Securely fasten the black ring terminal from the
charger to the negative terminal ("-", "NEG",
NEGATIVE") of the battery pack.
3. Select Charge Algorithm if battery type is other
than factory default.

Operating the Battery Charger
CAUTION: DIFFERENT BATTERY TYPES HAVE
DIFFERENT CHARGING REQUIREMENTS.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY YOUR
BATTERY TYPE AND SET THE CHARGER
ACCORDINGLY WILL RESULT IN BATTERY
DAMAGE, AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
The battery charger is fully automatic. Simply plug
the charger into a suitable wall outlet, and the
charger will charge the batteries. The green 100%
LED will be continuously illuminated when the charge
cycle is complete.
A bubbling, or boiling sound coming from the
batteries during the last few hours of the charge is
normal. The batteries may be warm, but not too hot
to touch.
The charger will maintain the proper battery voltage
as long as it is plugged in (maintenance mode).
Equalizing the batteries (Flooded only)
The batteries should be equalized once every 30
days for maximum battery runtime and life.
To equalize the batteries:
 Plug in the charger, and fully charge the batteries
(until the green 100% LED is on continuously).
 Unplug the charger from the wall outlet, then plug it
back in.
The charger will run for 2hrs, holding the batteries at
a constant voltage, and equalizing each cell.
Opportunity Charging
Opportunity charging is charging the batteries when
an opportunity presents itself, such as during breaks,
and is done in addition to a full charge cycle.
Opportunity charging is recommended, as this extra
charging time will help raise the operating voltage of
the batteries, and will help ensure maximum runtime
and cycle life.
See Operating Battery Charger Instructions or
Monthly Maintenance for equalizing your
batteries especially if you have been opportunity
charging your machine.
Notes on LED indications per DoE compliance:
When first connected to DC (AC not connected), the
LEDs will display one or more of the following:
The LEDs will flash the charger's ID code (this is for
PCS internal use only). Once the LEDs flash the ID,
they will only display one yellow LED. This
configuration will remain until AC is detected and a
charge cycle is in progress.
There is also a possibility the LEDs will not flash
their ID code and only show a yellow LED.
Lastly, the LEDs may not flash their ID code and
may not show any LEDs until AC is detected.
If the AC line and neutral wires are reversed, the unit
will wait 2 minutes before starting a charge. NOTE:
The 2-minute wait period will also be a factor if the
