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.

Configure the Charger for Flooded/AGM batteries
1. Remove the top cover
2. Pull the jumper from the 2-pin connector, and
install the jumper at position 1 (on both pins of 2-
pin connector).
3. Reinstall the top cover.
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.
Battery Do's and Don'ts :
a. You do not have to fully discharge the batteries
before charging. They do not have a "memory".
b. Plug the charger in anytime the machine is not in
use.
c. NEVER let the electrolyte level fall below the tops
of the plates (flooded cell batteries). This will
damage your batteries almost immediately, and
void the battery warranty. They can tell if this
happened.
d. NEVER refill the batteries with well or tap water
(flooded cell batteries).
e. NEVER overfill the batteries (flooded cell
batteries).
f. NEVER let the batteries sit discharged overnight
(or between shifts).
g. ALWAYS check the electrolyte level about every 3
or 4 charge/discharge cycles BEFORE
CHARGING.
h. ALWAYS refill the batteries with distilled water (if
needed) AFTER CHARGING.
i. ALWAYS fully recharge the batteries after use
(until the green LED comes on).
j. ALWAYS equalize the batteries (Flooded only)
every 30 days.
k. NEVER OVER DISCHARGE!
l. NEVER charge GEL batteries with the charger set
to FLOODED/AGM.
m. NEVER charge FLOODED/AGM batteries with the
charger set to GEL. EXCEPTION-CROWN AND
TROJAN AGM'S TO BE CHARGED WITH GEL
SETTING.
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.
NOTE: If battery charger is unplugged before the
charging cycle is completed, it may take up to five
minutes before the machine to be able to be turned
on.
