 The most favorable mounting orientations of the charger are shown in Figure 2-1. For on-board use, the most
favorable way to mount the charger is with the charger base bolted to a 0.1 inch (2.5 mm) minimum thick
metal plate. This provides both a strong structural mounting and good thermal conductive cooling (examples
are shown in Figure 2-1). A poor thermal conductive mounting material such as plastic or wood would be less
favorable for cooling.

Figure 2-1: Charger Mounting Recommendations

The charger dimensions and mounting hole locations are shown in Figure 2-2. For off-board use, an optional
handle is available for ease in carrying. The charger case also has routing and securing locations for the AC
and DC cordsets when when they need to be routed to the opposite ends as shown in Figure 2-3.

3. BATTERY TYPE
This charger contains multiple battery profiles for different battery types (including wet/flooded, AGM, and gel)
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 (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
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 (AGM and gel) 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 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.

4. 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).

4.1 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.

4.2 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.

5. 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 108 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 wire size of 16
AWG (1.5 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.

Summit Series® II 13 of 28 User’s Manual

 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. 12 AWG (2.5 mm) minimum, heavy-duty cord
with ground. It must also be in good electrical condition and as short as possible, 25 ft (7.6 m) maximum.
Make sure that the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as the AC
power cordset 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.

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 (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 (see Section 8).

6.1 Auto Voltage Mode

The 1050W 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.

Summit Series® II 14 of 28 User’s Manual

 When connected to a 1050W 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, a different battery profile can
be assigned for 36V, and yet a different battery profile can be assigned for 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 48V, 36V, and 24V nominal battery packs [or any combination of
two (2) of these voltages] 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”.

6.2 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 12AWG 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 Table 6.2 to determine the correct Configuration Number, and then attach the
DC cordset wires as shown in Figure 6.2-2. Torque the screws for the battery connections to 18 in-lbs (2.0 N-
m) and the lockout and external temperature sense connections to 12 in-lbs (1.35 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 nuts 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).

7. VEHICLE LOCKOUT CONTROL

The charger lockout/interlock control can be interfaced with the vehicle/equipment to prevent use/movement
of the vehicle while the charger is in use. The lockout control available on Terminals 1 and 2 on the DC
terminal block (see Figure 6.2-1) is connected to both sides of a normally closed relay contact and will
open/break the circuit when the charger lockout is activated.

The charger lockout control is typically interfaced to the vehicle motor speed controller or in the vehicle key
switch circuit. For single wire lockout control, the lockout signal can be pulled high to battery positive (+)
(Configuration 3 in Figure 6.2-2) or low to battery negative (-) (Configuration 4 in Figure 6.2-2) through a 10k
ohm resistor or as required by your application. If both sides of the relay are needed to break an existing
lockout circuit on the vehicle, use Configuration 5 in Figure 6.2-2. 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 will be active while AC power is applied to the
charger. If the charger is configured for off-board use, the lockout control 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).

10. 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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. DO NOT EXCESSIVELY DISCHARGE THE BATTERIES. Excessive discharge can cause polarity
reversal of individual cells resulting in complete failure shortly thereafter.
5. 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.

Summit Series® II 19 of 28 User’s Manual

 6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. All 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.
10. Follow all operating instructions, cautions, and warnings as specified in this manual, on the charger, in the
battery manuals, and in the vehicle manuals.

10.1 Personal Safety Precautions

1. 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.
2. Ensure that ample fresh water and soap are nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin, clothing, or
eyes.
3. Wear complete eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while working near a battery.
4. 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.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame to be in the vicinity of a battery.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. NEVER charge a frozen battery.

11. CHARGER OPERATION

Disconnecting the charger from the battery always clears a fault. If the charger was factory-configured for on-
board use, removing AC power from the charger also clears a fault. If a fault cannot be cleared after taking
appropriate corrective action, contact your dealer for troubleshooting and/or service.

13. 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).

Summit Series® II 24 of 28 User’s Manual

 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.

1. If the charger does not turn on, check for one of the following conditions.
a. The charger AC power cord is not plugged into a live and/or appropriate AC outlet.
b. The battery connections are incorrect – battery not connected, reverse polarity, or short circuit.
c. The battery voltage is too high.
d. The battery voltage is too low (below 10 volts).

2. 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.
a. The AC power was interrupted during the charge cycle.
b. The charger DC output connector was disconnected from the battery during the charge cycle.
c. 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.

3. A decrease in vehicle/equipment range where the battery loses power faster indicates one of the
following conditions.
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. The normal wear-out pattern for the battery.

4. A charge cycle running longer than anticipated before terminating indicates one of the following
conditions.
a. An overly-discharged battery.
b. The charger output may have been reduced due to low AC input voltage, high ambient temperature,
or obstructions to cooling airflow.
c. The amp-hour capacity of the battery is greater than the charger can fully charge in the anticipated
amount of time.
