Wet Cell Batteries
Use a combination of multiple 2-volt cell units to construct a 36-volt DC
battery pack system.
Advance-recommended battery pack capacity is a 395 AH @ 20 Hour Rate
deep cycle battery system. Note that the battery pack must fit the battery
compartment size listed in the
Technical Specifications
.
Wet Cell Battery Charger
Use a 36-volt DC output charger matching the DC battery pack voltage and
the input AC line voltage supply being used.
When selecting a battery charger always follow the recommendation of the
battery supplier to match the correct charger DC output amperage to the
amp-hour rating batteries being installed. This will prevent the battery pack
from being overcharged or undercharged.
The recommended 395 AH battery should be matched to a 36-volt, 36-amp
output charger on machines using six 6-volt batteries.
The optional 450 AH battery should be matched to the Advance 36-volt, 38-
amp output charger.
Special Tools
A hydrometer can be used to check the specific
gravity of the battery electrolyte. A typical example is
shown here.
