THE BATTERY PACK
Recharging NiMH battery pack with the car charger
The Explorer II is provided with a car charger that boosts the
voltage of the car battery (usually about 12V) to a voltage sufficiently
high to charge the NiMH battery pack.
STEP 1 Remove battery pack as per instructions on page 24.
STEP 2 Insert the car charger plug into the cigarette lighter socket.
STEP 3 Insert the car charger plug into the socket at the tapered end
of the battery pack. A small light on the car charger
illuminates indicating that the car charger is in operation.
NOTE Some vehicles will need the ignition to be switched on
to ‘accessories’ for power to be supplied to the charger.
STEP 4 Leave the battery to charge for about 18 hours for a
complete recharge. If the battery was not completely
discharged, the charging time will be shorter.
The car charger is provided with a 3AG 2Amp fast fuse for short
circuit protection that can be accessed by unscrewing the tip of the
cigarette lighter plug.
NOTE Charging the battery beyond full capacity will not
damage the NiMH battery pack, but it could gradually
discharge your car battery.
