Default charger question

Will the stock powerdrive charger kick in (at lower than 36v) if we have the grey sensor wire jumped (to pos) as well as the big fuse jumped to the neg side of the battery? I also have the relay in the charger jumped from last year for some reason..lol..memory isn't what it used to be!

My battery pack is low from sitting all winter and was wondering if I can charge the complete set by bypassing these things...

The Grey sense wire needs to be on the Negative post, NOT the positive....

You can also take your 12v charger and charge each battery for 15 minutes and the pack voltage will be enough to close in the relay and charge.

You should have left the Powerdrive plugged int thru the winter. The Maintenance Mode would have prevented the issue.

Good Luck!

Yeah, I didn't have indoor storage, nor anywhere near power...and...lol...it has an obc bypass..so can't leave it plugged in. Instead I brought the batteries into the shop.

The grey sense wire and the 10g Black wire from the back of the charge receptacle both go to the Main Pack Negative post.
