BATTERY TYPE
This charger contains multiple battery profiles for different battery types (including wet/flooded, AGM, gel, and lithium) and capacities of batteries. The charger was factory-configured with the active battery profile that was requested as part of the original order from Lester Electrical. Before
- using the charger for the first time or (2) using the charger with a battery pack of a different type or capacity, use the ChargerConnect app to verify the proper active battery profile is selected. If the proper battery profile is not available on the charger, the ChargerConnect app can be used to download the appropriate battery profile from the Cloud. If the battery type you will be charging is not available via the ChargerConnect app Cloud (for example, a specific lithium-ion brand or chemistry), contact Lester Electrical for more information. See Section 8 for additional details.
If the active battery profile is changed, mark the charger ratings label or add an additional label or tag.
CAUTION: THIS CHARGER IS FOR USE ONLY WITH BATTERY SYSTEMS OF THE SAME TYPE AS
THE ACTIVE BATTERY PROFILE. BATTERIES IMPROPERLY MATCHED WITH THE CHARGER MAY
BURST CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE BATTERIES OR CHARGER.
Battery manufacturers frequently use the same battery cases for different
battery types. Wet/flooded batteries have removable cell caps. Water
electrolyzed by discharging and charging the battery is replaced through these
openings. Sealed batteries are generally distinguished by non-removable cell
caps. The physical appearance of the battery case is frequently the same as a
wet battery, though the cell caps are generally not removable. Refer to the
battery manufacturer’s information panel on the battery case to determine the
type of battery you have. If the information panel is missing or not legible,
do not use the battery.
If you have questions regarding which battery profile to select for use with
your particular battery pack, contact your dealer for assistance.
OFF-BOARD (SHELF) VERSUS ON-BOARD (BUILT-IN) CHARGERS
This section describes how the charger operates when the charger type is set
to Off-board or On-board. Based on your application, this setting can be
changed via the ChargerConnect app under “System Profile” (see Section 8).
The charger was factory-configured with the active battery profile that was
requested as part of the original order from Lester Electrical. The charger
was also factory-configured for mounting on-board a battery-powered
vehicle/machine or for off-board use in a shelf or portable application per
the original order from Lester Electrical. Before (1) using the charger for
the first time or (2) using the charger with a battery pack of a different
type or capacity, use the ChargerConnect app to verify that the proper active
battery profile is selected and that the system settings match your
application (see Section 8).
Off-Board Chargers
Off-board chargers are designed to be used in shelf or portable applications.
If the AC input plug is connected to AC power, a new charge cycle
automatically starts when the DC output is connected to a battery pack of the
proper voltage. Disconnecting and reconnecting AC power while the DC output
remains connected to a battery pack WILL NOT automatically start a new charge
cycle. Disconnecting the DC output from the battery pack IS REQUIRED to
automatically start a new charge cycle.
On-Board Chargers
On-board chargers are designed to be mounted on electric vehicles/equipment.
If the DC output is connected to a battery pack of the proper voltage, a
charge cycle automatically starts when the AC input plug is connected to AC
power (unless a safety period of time has not passed since the successful
completion of the previous charge cycle). Disconnecting the DC output from the
battery pack IS NOT REQUIRED to automatically start a new charge cycle.
AC INPUT
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE, DISCONNECT AC POWER
FROM THE CHARGER BEFORE INSTALLING OR REMOVING UNIT.
The charger has an AC input rating of 100-240 volts, 50-60 hertz, single-
phase. The charger has an AC operating range of 85-265 volts, 45-65 hertz.
Below 115 volts, the charger may reduce output power.
The charger is equipped with an IEC 60320 C16 inlet for the AC input power as
shown. This allows the AC power cordset to be selected with a proper plug
compatible with local electrical codes. The AC power cordset wiring must be
properly sized for safe operation. For 100-120Vac operation use a minimum of
14 AWG (2.0 mm2) and for 220-240Vac operation use a minimum wire size of 18
AWG (1.0 mm2). An AC cord clamp is also included to retain the AC power
cordset IEC 60320 C15 connector when the connector has the dimensions as shown
below. Loosen the screw on the clamp before inserting the C15 connector. Fully
insert the connector into the charger inlet and then tighten the AC cord clamp
screw to secure the AC power cordset to the charger.
-
CAUTION: IF THE IEC 60320 C15 CONNECTOR DIMENSIONS ARE LARGER THAN SHOWN ABOVE, VERIFY CONNECTOR IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY INTO THE CHARGER INLET OR RISK OF FIRE DUE TO LOOSE CONNECTION MAY OCCUR.
-
The charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock and is equipped with an IEC 60320 C16 inlet having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding socket. The installed AC power cordset must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all applicable electrical codes and ordinances.
If this charger includes the UL Listed symbol on its ratings label, it is provided with a cord set for connection to outlets operating at nominal 120 volts (or 240 volts as appropriate). If the input plug does not fit the power outlet, contact Lester Electrical for the proper cord set terminating in an attachment plug of the proper configuration for the power outlet. -
DANGER: NEVER ALTER THE AC POWER CORDSET OR PLUG PROVIDED. IF IT WILL NOT FIT AN OUTLET, OBTAIN THE CORRECT CHARGER IEC AC POWER CORDSET FOR THE OUTLET, OR HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
-
IMPROPER CONNECTION CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
If an extension cord is necessary, it must be a 3-conductor, No. 10 AWG (2.5mm) minimum, heavy-duty cord with ground. It must also be in good electrical condition and as short as possible, 25 ft (7.6m) maximum. Make sure that the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as the AC power cord plug on the charger. The use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Locate all cords so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage, stress, or accidentally disconnected. -
CAUTION: VERIFY THAT THE AC POWER CORDSET IS FULLY ENGAGED IN THE IEC INLET AND CANNOT BE PULLED LOOSE BEFORE USING THE CHARGER.
-
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! CONNECT THE AC SUPPLY CORDSET DIRECTLY TO A GROUNDED, 3-WIRE OUTLET. DO NOT TOUCH UNINSULATED PORTION OF DC OUTPUT TERMINALS OR BATTERY TERMINALS. REPLACE DEFECTIVE CORDS, WIRES, OR CONNECTORS IMMEDIATELY.
DC OUTPUT
WARNING: LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GAS. CHARGE ONLY IN WELL
VENTILATED AREAS. TO PREVENT ARCING OR BURNING NEAR BATTERIES, DO NOT
DISCONNECT THE DC CHARGING CONNECTOR(S) FROM THE BATTERIES WHEN THE CHARGER IS
OPERATING. IF THE CHARGE CYCLE MUST BE INTERRUPTED, UNPLUG THE AC POWER CORD
BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE DC OUTPUT CONNECTOR(S) FROM THE BATTERIES. KEEP
SPARKS, FLAME, AND SMOKING MATERIALS AWAY FROM BATTERIES. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE, DO NOT USE THE CHARGER NEAR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS OR VAPORS.
Only charge batteries of the same type, voltage, number of cells, and amp-hour
capacities listed on the charger ratings label. Before
- using the charger for the first time or
- using the charger with a battery pack of a different type or capacity, use the ChargerConnect app to verify that the proper active battery profile is selected (see Section 8).
Auto Voltage Mode
The 1425W charger models support automatic multi-voltage DC charging, referred
to as Auto Voltage Mode. Auto Voltage Mode provides automatic DC output
voltage detection and adjustment so that battery packs of nominal 48V, 36V and
24V can be charged with a single charger without any configuration changes
needing to be made to the charger when switching between battery packs of
different nominal voltages.
When connected to a 1425W charger model with the ChargerConnect app (see
Section 8), the “System Profile” screen will include an “Auto Profile”
selection box, which provides the following three (3) options:
- OFF: Single voltage mode – you MUST ensure that the nominal DC voltage of the “Active Battery Profile” for the charger matches the nominal DC voltage of the connected battery pack.
- PER VOLTAGE PROFILES: A battery profile can be assigned for 48V and a different battery profile can be assigned for 36V or 24V. The proper battery profile is automatically selected based on the connected battery pack. This mode is primarily used when the charger will be charging multiple 48V, 36V, or 24V nominal battery packs where the battery packs are of different types and/or capacities so using the “Scalable Profile” mode is not appropriate.
- SCALABLE PROFILE: The nominal DC voltage of the “Active Battery Profile” is automatically scaled to 48V, 36V, or 24V based on the connected battery pack.
NOTE: If the charger is currently set to “Per Voltage Profiles” or “Scalable
Profile” mode, and you set the “Auto Profile” selection box to “Off”, you MUST
ensure that the nominal DC voltage of the “Active Battery Profile” for the
charger matches the nominal DC voltage of the connected battery pack via the
“Battery Profiles” screen in the ChargerConnect app.
When Auto Voltage Mode is active (either “Per Voltage Profiles” or “Scalable
Profile”) the ChargerConnect app “Dashboard” screen provides the status of the
proprietary algorithm that executes at the beginning of the charge cycle by
displaying the “Auto Battery Voltage Detection” as a status percentage and the
“Detected Battery Pack Voltage”.
DC Output Cordset
The DC output cordset includes a connector, plug, or terminals. The polarity
of the charger DC connector/plug/terminals must be the same as the battery
connector/receptacle/terminals. The BLACK DC cable must be connected to the
battery negative (-), and the WHITE or RED DC cable must be connected to the
battery positive (+). The charger will not operate if the polarity is
reversed.
WARNING: CHARGER DC CORDSET MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 10AWG WIRE SIZE FOR PROPER
HEAT DISSIPATION. TO PREVENT RISK OF FIRE, DO NOT USE SMALLER GAUGE WIRE.
The DC cordset attaches to the external DC terminal block on the charger.
Remove the touch proof cover (if pre-installed) to expose the DC terminal
block as shown in Figure 6.2-1. Based on the DC cordset
connector/plug/terminals, use Tables 6.2-2, 6.2-3, & 6.2-4 to determine the
correct Configuration Number, and then attach the DC cordset wires to the
correct locations as shown in Figure 6.2-1. Torque the screws for the battery
connections to 18 in-lbs (2.0 N-m). Place the strain relief over the DC
cordset cable/wires. When individual wires are used for on-board applications,
place the foam rubber gasket that comes on the cordset under the strain
relief, center the wires, and then tighten the strain relief screws and torque
them to 12 in-lbs (1 N-m). This prevents the wires from getting pinched on the
side of the strain relief when tightened. Replace the terminal block cover and
torque the cover screws to 9 in-lbs (1 N-m).

in use. The lockout control signal, available on Terminal #5 on the QD
Terminal Block (see Figure 6.2-1). The lockout signal can be configured to be
pulled high to battery positive (+) or low to battery negative (-). The
lockout setting is controlled by the “System Profile” and can be changed using
the ChargerConnect app (see Section 8). If you are uncertain of how to attach
the lockout wiring, please contact your dealer.
If the charger is configured for on-board use, the lockout control signal will
be active while AC power is applied to the charger. If the charger is
configured for off-board use, the lockout control signal will be active while
a valid battery is connected to the charger. Based on your application, you
can configure the charger as on-board or off-board via the ChargerConnect app
under “System Profile” (see Section 8).

PROPER CARE OF DEEP-CYCLE LEAD-ACID MOTIVE POWER BATTERIES
Motive power battery packs are subjected to severe deep-cycle duty on a daily
basis. Although these batteries are designed to withstand such duty, the
following precautions must be observed to obtain good performance and maximum
cycle life.
CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE EYE SHIELDS AND CLOTHING WHEN WORKING WITH
BATTERIES. BATTERIES CONTAIN ACIDS WHICH CAN CAUSE BODILY HARM. DO NOT PUT
WRENCHES OR OTHER METAL OBJECTS ACROSS THE BATTERY TERMINAL OR
BATTERY TOP. ARCING OR EXPLOSION OF THE BATTERY CAN RESULT.
- When installing new batteries, be sure the polarity of each battery and the overall battery pack is correct. Otherwise, battery and/or charger damage can result.
- New batteries should be given a full charge before their first use because it is difficult to know how long the batteries have been stored.
- New batteries and older batteries that have been in storage are not capable of their rated output until they have been discharged and charged a number of times. Consult the manufacturer of your batteries for more information.
- DO NOT EXCESSIVELY DISCHARGE THE BATTERIES. Excessive discharge can cause polarity reversal of individual cells resulting in complete failure shortly thereafter.
- Maintain the proper electrolyte level of wet (flooded) batteries by adding water when necessary. Distilled or deionized water is best for battery life. Never allow the electrolyte level to fall below the top of the battery plates. Electrolyte levels lower during discharge and rise during charge. Therefore, to prevent the overflow of electrolyte when charging, it is mandatory that water be added to cells AFTER they have been fully charged – do not overfill. Old batteries require more frequent additions of water than new batteries.
- Hard crystalline sulfates form when batteries in storage are not maintained in a charged active state. Internal self discharge can bring about the start of this condition in as little as three days in warm temperatures. Batteries not maintained and allowed to sit in storage will self discharge, sulfate and lose capacity. Repeated charging without using the batteries between charges can recover some of the lost power, range, and life, but some permanent loss should be expected.
- Cold batteries require more time to fully charge. When the temperature falls below 65°F, the batteries should be placed on charge as soon after use as possible.
- The tops of batteries and battery hold downs must be kept clean and dry at all times to prevent excessive self discharge and the flow of current between the battery posts and frame. Electrolyte spilled on batteries never dries or evaporates.
- connections to batteries must be maintained clean and tight. Due to heating and discharge rates, bolted connections loosen over time. Re-tighten the connections twice yearly to the torques specified by the battery manufacturers.
- Follow all operating instructions, cautions, and warnings as specified in this manual, on the charger, in the battery manuals, and in the vehicle manuals.
Personal Safety Precautions
- Have someone within the range of your voice and close enough to quickly come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
- Ensure that ample fresh water and soap are nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin, clothing, or eyes.
- Wear complete eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while working near a battery.
- If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flush your eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
- NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame to be in the vicinity of a battery.
- Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical components that could cause an explosion.
- Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a battery. A battery can produce a short-circuit current that is high enough to cause a severe burn.
- NEVER charge a frozen battery.

Off-Board Charger Operation
Below are general instructions. However, specific charger configurations may include alternate functionality.
If the charger was configured for off-board use, follow these operating instructions:
- With the charger DC output connector/plug disconnected from the battery connector/receptacle, connect the charger AC power cord to an appropriate AC outlet (if not already connected) and the blue “AC PRESENT” LED will turn on.
- Connect the charger DC output connector/plug to the battery connector/receptacle. The charger will start automatically, which is indicated by the yellow “CHARGE STATUS” LED beginning to blink slowly.
- If the charger must be disconnected from the battery while a charge cycle is in progress, first disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Do not disconnect the charger DC output connector/plug from the battery while a charge cycle is in progress.
- The charge cycle 80% point is indicated by the yellow LED beginning to blink quickly.
- The Finish charge cycle phase is indicated by the solid illumination of the yellow LED. Not all charge profiles include a Finish phase.
- An extended Balance/Equalize charge cycle phase is indicated by the green “CHARGE COMPLETE” LED beginning to blink quickly. Not all charge profiles include a Balance/Equalize phase.
- The charger automatically terminates the charge cycle when a battery reaches full charge, which is indicated by [1] the solid illumination of the green LED or [2] the green LED beginning to blink slowly indicating a post-charge phase. The required charge time is affected by numerous factors, including battery amp-hour capacity, depth of discharge, battery temperature, and battery age/usage. (See note below.)
- Before operating the machine/equipment, disconnect the charger DC output connector/plug from the battery connector/receptacle by firmly grasping both connectors and pulling them straight apart.
Note: Some Lithium-Ion batteries disconnect the charger from the batteries when the batteries reach full charge. In these situations, the “Charge Complete” LED will NOT be illuminated green despite the fact that the charge cycle has completed. Please refer to the State of Charge (SOC) display on the batteries to confirm a full charge.
On-Board Charger Operation
Below are general instructions. However, specific charger configurations may
include alternate functionality.
If the charger was configured for on-board use, follow these operating
instructions
- Ensure that the vehicle/equipment that the charger is mounted on is turned off.
- With the charger AC power cord disconnected from the AC outlet, connect the charger DC output connector/plug to the battery connector/receptacle (most likely already connected or hard wired).
- Connect the charger AC power cord to an appropriate live AC outlet which is indicated by the blue “AC PRESENT” LED turning on. The charger will start automatically as indicated by the yellow “CHARGE STATUS” LED beginning to blink slowly.
- If the charger must be disconnected from the battery while a charge cycle is in progress, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Do not disconnect the charger DC output connector/plug from the battery while a charge cycle is in progress.
- The charge cycle 80% point is indicated by the yellow LED beginning to blink quickly.
- The Finish charge cycle phase is indicated by the solid illumination of the yellow LED. Not all charge profiles include a Finish phase.
- An extended Balance/Equalize charge cycle phase is indicated by the green “CHARGE COMPLETE” LED beginning to blink quickly. Not all charge profiles include a Balance/Equalize phase.
- The charger automatically terminates the charge cycle when a battery reaches full charge, which is indicated by [1] the solid illumination of the green LED or [2] the green LED beginning to blink slowly indicating a post-charge phase. The required charge time is affected by numerous factors, including battery amp-hour capacity, depth of discharge, battery temperature, and battery age/usage. (See note below.)
- Before operating the vehicle/equipment, disconnect the charger AC power cord from the outlet.
Note: Some Lithium-Ion batteries disconnect the charger from the batteries
when the batteries reach full charge.
In these situations, the “Charge Complete” LED will NOT be illuminated green
despite the fact that the charge cycle has completed. Please refer to the
State of Charge (SOC) display on the batteries to confirm a full charge.
Storage Mode Operation
- Storage Mode is designed to keep your battery maintained during storage periods that last a few weeks to several months at a time.
- Depending on the battery type and battery profile selected, a storage charge can be a continuous float or a periodic charge mode.
- Do NOT disconnect the charger from the battery or from the AC power until your machine is needed for use. Disconnecting and reconnecting the charger from the batteries or AC power may start a charge cycle, but disconnection disrupts the storage mode, so optimum battery maintenance is not achieved.
- After several months of storage your batteries should be serviced and the charger reset by disconnecting the DC for Off-Board or the AC for On-Board applications (disconnect AC for a minimum of 10 minutes) before continuing another storage season.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The charger was fully tested and calibrated before leaving the factory. It was
delivered ready to charge. If properly installed, the charger should require
very little attention. If improper charger operation occurs, it will require
repair by a qualified service technician (see section 12.1 for information
regarding the Fault LED).
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE CHARGER IF IT IS DAMAGED OR APPEARS TO BE
MALFUNCTIONING. PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE CHARGER OR BATTERIES MAY
RESULT. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE CHARGER. CONTACT YOUR DEALER. INCORRECT
REASSEMBLY MAY RESULT IN RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
- If the charger does not turn on, check for one of the following conditions.
- The charger AC power cord is not plugged into a live and/or appropriate AC outlet.
- The battery connections are incorrect – battery not connected, reverse polarity, or short circuit.
- The battery voltage is too high.
- The battery voltage is too low (below 10 volts).
- If the charger turns off before a battery is fully charged, and a fault condition is not indicated by the Fault LED, this indicates one of the following conditions.
- The AC power was interrupted during the charge cycle.
- The charger DC output connector was disconnected from the battery during the charge cycle.
- The battery has been allowed to sulfate. Charge the battery at least once every three (3) days when the equipment is lightly used. Once sulfation is allowed to take place, it may be partially reduced by returning, temporarily, to daily charging.
- A decrease in vehicle/equipment range where the battery loses power faster indicates one of the following conditions.
- The electrolyte level in a wet lead-acid battery was allowed to drop below the top of the battery plates. If so, add distilled water to just cover the top of the plates immediately upon discovery, and then fill to the proper level with distilled water at the completion of the very next charge cycle.
- Use of the vehicle/equipment before the battery has been fully charged and the charger automatically terminates the charge cycle. This shortens battery life and accelerates the onset of reduced daily range.
- The normal wear-out pattern for the battery.
- A charge cycle running longer than anticipated before terminating indicates one of the following conditions.
- An overly-discharged battery.
- The charger output may have been reduced due to low AC input voltage, high ambient temperature, or obstructions to cooling airflow.
- The amp-hour capacity of the battery is greater than the charger can fully charge in the anticipated amount of time.
