LITHIUM MAINTENANCE
Your lithium battery requires very little maintenance. To clean the
battery, wipe it down with a damp cloth. DO NOT spray down or
immerse the battery with water.
Yearly – use a 13 mm wrench or socket to check the main battery
terminal bolts for tightness. The main terminal bolt torque should be
124 in-lb.
Every Six Months – You will see a 4-pin connector, located near your
battery. Unplug this connector and inspect it for corrosion every six
months.
For prolonged storage, charge the battery to 100%, unplug the charger,
and you can leave the battery unpluged for 6 months after fully charged.
When you return, the battery should be at 20% charge. Return the
battery to full charge at this time.
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING QUESTIONS
Q: What if my battery won’t turn on?
A: Verify that your battery power switch is pushed in, along with your
dashboard pushbutton switch. Your battery should power up, with both
of the switches pushed in.
Q: What if my meter seems to be inaccurate?
A: You MUST fully charge your Lithium battery before operating!
Q: What if my battery won’t charge?
A: Verify that the red LED is lit on the AC charger cord plug. Then
verify there are three cords connected to the charger, and that they are
secure. Verify the correct polarity of the red and black wires under the
black, plastic terminal cover on the finned side of the charger. On the
side of the charger, look to see if there are any LED lights lit. If AC power
is available to the charger, the blue LED should be lit. You can then
download the Lester Charger Connect app onto your smartphone, to
connect to the charger, for diagnostics.
