Dual Port Charging
The instructions for charging with a single port apply to dual ports also. Refer to the instructions for charging a single port for complete instructions. If equipped with dual charging ports, the vehicle may still be charged with a single charging coupler using either inlet.
When both inlets are used to charge the vehicle:
-
inlet one charges battery one and battery two,
-
inlet two charges only battery three,
-
and two plug telltales appear on the driver display, one for each coupler.
If a vehicle is charging in single port mode and a second coupler is inserted, the charging current demand on the first port is reduced as the vehicle controller recalibrates current demand and carries out safety checks on the second coupler/inlet connection. When the second coupler is ready, current demand increases on both inlets to charge the vehicle.
To stop charging a vehicle when both inlets are engaged either:
-
Press the stop charging button located between the charge ports to stop charging on both inlets, and automatically unlock the inlet(s).
-
Select the stop charging option on the charge dispenser to stop charging on just that inlet, and automatically unlock the inlet
-
Press the coupler top latch button to stop charging on just that inlet, then press the stop charging button, or lock and unlock the cab door to unlock the inlet(s)
Note: Pressing the stop charging button on the charge dispenser or pressing a coupler top latch button stops both charging couplers from supplying charge.
