Battery Discharge Indicator - Toro Workman GTX Electric & Lithium Service Manual

Battery Discharge Indicator

The battery discharge indicator identifies the battery
pack state of charge and is located on the dash panel
(Fig. 14).
The discharge indicator reads full (10 indicator bars) af-
ter the battery pack has been fully charged (approxi-
mately 51 volts). As battery pack voltage decreases with
vehicle use, fewer battery indicator bars are shown on
the indicator.
When the discharge indicator reaches two (2) indicator
bars due to diminished battery pack charge, the remain-
ing two (2) bars will blink to identify that the battery
charge level is extremely low. At this point or before, the
batteries should be charged for best battery durability.
If the vehicle continues to be used after the battery dis-
charge indicator reaches two (2) bars, the remaining two
(2) bars will alternatively flash. At this point, the batteries
should be charged to prevent serious battery damage.
IMPORTANT: To obtain maximum battery life, al-
ways charge the batteries when there are two (2) or
more bars remaining on the battery discharge indi-
cator. Regularly depleting the batteries to lower
than two (2) bars will reduce the life of the batteries
in your Workman GTX Electric vehicle. Also, when
only two (2) bars remain on the indicator, the vehicle
may enter a reduced speed mode. This reduced
speed helps to protect the batteries and acts as a
notice that the batteries should be charged.
NOTE: It should be noted that very high or very low am-
bient temperatures may affect the operation of the bat-
tery discharge indicator.
The back of the discharge indicator is shown in Figure
16. A wire harness connector plugs into the indicator.
Refer to Chapter 6 -- Electrical Diagrams for electrical
schematic and wire harness information.
If the battery discharge indicator proves to be inaccu-
rate, the meter should be replaced.
