In case of failure, especially after long storage, the 48 V battery may be discharged and require a charging process. Do not try to charge the hybrid system directly. The hybrid system is connected to the 12 V network through the DC/DC converter. Any operation may affect the overall behaviour of the system. Only use a specific 12 V battery charger capable of maintaining 13.5 V with a high level of current 40-50 A (approx. 600 W). To charge the vehicle's battery yourself, use only a charger compatible with lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V. Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster.
