Charging

The truck is charged by connecting a lab voltage supply set to 28.5V and limited to 10A.

Warning

When the truck is not used for long periods of time the two black CAN bus connection protection caps shall be removed in order to disable the battery protection circuit. The protection circuit slowly draws power from the battery and it will eventually destroy the battery after a few weeks.

Warning

When the lab supply is connected to the battery, there may be a spark even if the supply is turned off because of the output capacitor on the supply.
