External Battery Pack
The external battery pack may be used when the optional internal battery pack was not ordered or
there is not time to permit a recharge of the optional internal RX2 battery pack.
The external battery pack mounts to the fork truck via a battery bracket and is connected to the
RX2 with cables. The cable on the external battery connects to the coupler.
The coupler is mounted on a bracket. The coupler is connected via a cable to the RX2.
The external battery pack is designed to be mounted on the same side of the fork truck as the
truck’s main battery for ease of service.

Figure 6 External Battery, Connection to RX2
Use the battery charger to charge the external battery pack. The RX2 battery charger charges the
battery pack in less than 6 hours.
The battery charger uses an adapter cable. One end of the cable has a “break away” connection to
reduce the chance of damage if the forklift is moved before the battery charger is disconnected.
The other end of the cable attaches to the external battery.
To use the charger, connect the adapter cable to the external battery.
