6 Because the charger is controlled by the vehicle onboard computer, it willwork with only Excel System, IQ System, POWERDRIVE , and POWERDRIVE Plus electric vehicles. The charger isautomatic and has no external controls (Figure 1). When the charger is connected, there is a 2 to 15 seconddelay before charging : POWERDRIVE and POWERDRIVE Plus Vehicles: Shortly after charging begins, the charger will shutoff in order to run a self-diagnostic program (ammeter will drop to zero). Charging will resume in afew moments (ammeter returns to previous rate of charge).

7 This will be repeated at one hour andat two hours into the charge and IQ System Vehicles: At one hour and at two hours into the charge cycle, the chargerwill shut off in order to run a self-diagnostic program (ammeter will drop to zero). Charging willresume in a few moments (ammeter returns to previous rate of charge).The onboard computer, having recorded the amount of energy consumed as the vehicle was used, directs thecharger to replace exactly the amount of energy needed to fully replenish the batteries. The charger thenshuts off automatically, preventing the possibility of either undercharging or overcharging.

8 The computeraccomplishes this by detecting when the exact amount of energy necessary has been returned to the batter-ies. POWERDRIVE 3 BATTERY CHARGER FEATURES Charge InterlockPowerDrive 3 battery charger DC plugs have three pins rather than two blades common on most stan-dard charger plugs. Two of these pins are the positive and negative leads as on standard chargers; thethird pin is a sensing lead that is the communication link between the charger and the onboard com-puter. When the charger plug is plugged into the vehicle receptacle, the onboard computer locks outthe vehicle drive system.

9 This prevents the possibility of driving the vehicle while the charger is pluggedin and potentially damaging the vehicle and charger.
