Nautilus Power Pack Charger

[Jaunita Rousu]

Twoadditional drive modes in the Grand Touring model let you choose how best to use your vehicle's electric power. Select the Preserve EV drive mode for hybrid performance using both engine and electric motor or Pure EV for electric-only driving. Both modes provide a smooth driving experience on city streets and highways.

Plug in to luxury. The Grand Touring* charger features a Mobile Power Cord and intuitive light ring to convey the current level of charge. The Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring is capable of charging on a 120V outlet or a 240V outlet. A light ring surrounding the charge port shows you the charge status at a glance. Don't have a dedicated 240V outlet at home? Contact a professional licensed electrician for installation.

In addition to at home, your electric battery can be charged at thousands of public charging stations across the U.S. Plus, you're backed by a gas engine that keeps you moving when plug-in charging isn't an option. Indulge in peace of mind. Lincoln plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are engineered to run on electric battery power, gasoline engine power or a balanced combination of both.

The network of North American charging stations is robust and growing every day. You can find the nearest station using the Lincoln Way App.* When using the app, be sure to apply the filter to find locations that offer alternating current (AC) charging. Currently, Lincoln plug-in hybrid vehicles cannot accept a direct current (DC) charge.

Lincoln plug-in hybrid electric vehicles offer the best of both worlds, combining gas and electric to offer powerful performance. Preserve EV mode allows you to power your vehicle using gas while actively recharging your battery, and Pure EV mode allows you to drive using only electricity, seamlessly engaging your hybrid gas engine should your power demands exceed electric capability.

You can charge at home using a dedicated 120V or 240V electric outlet or at thousands of charging stations in the U.S. When locating a charging location, be sure to identify those that offer alternating current (AC) charging. Currently, Lincoln plug-in hybrid models cannot accept a direct current (DC) charge. Have to leave in a hurry? The combination of gas and electric systems means your Lincoln plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is always road-ready.

Lincoln plug-in hybrid electric vehicles offer all the advantages of a gas-powered engine with added perks, including potentially fewer trips to the fuel pump, smooth, quiet acceleration and additional drive modes. The purchase of a PHEV may also qualify you to receive additional benefits, including potential federal income tax credits and access to some high-occupancy vehicle lanes.

You will need a grounded and dedicated 15- or 20-amp AC breaker serving a grounded three-prong outlet for proper charging. Failure to have a dedicated line, other appliances on the line, using an extension cord with the charger, using a surge protector or adding a timer and other adapters can result in electric shock, fire and/or repeated breaker trips. If you do not have a dedicated line, contact a professional licensed electrician for proper installation.

Here's a tip if you own or have ever owned one of these. A few years back - about 7 - I bought one of these and it performed well. Lasted a long time, but as with any rechargeable eventually died (5 years or so) I bought another one because I like the fact it's portable with a built in charger and the accessories have proved useful over time. The second one died in 2 years! (and I cared for it properly) So I bought another just before my last fishing trip, but before leaving I was talking to a sales guy from the Interstate Battery Store in Mississauga. He said instead of buying the whole unit we should just rebuild it. I went home, took it apart, and pulled the battery out to see if he had something similar. Sure enough he did, but when I sent him the picture and specs here's what he said:

"Thanks for the pictures and spec sheet, it was very helpful.

Our equivalent of that battery is the SLA1156. It is a a 12V 35Ah battery, which means it has a slightly higher capacity than your OEM one. HOWEVER...the one in the picture and the equivalent are NOT deep cycle batteries. They are rechargeable but are more for stand by use where they are used briefly on occasion. They are not designed to be deeply discharged day after day like a wheelchair or for the circumstances you described.

The deep cycle one is DCM0035. It is also a 12V 35Ah battery but it is a true deep cycle battery. This is far and away the best (better) option for you. If you continue to take care of it the way you did with your OEM battery I see no reason why you couldn't double the service life.

The SLA1156 and DCM0035 retail for $104.99 and $125.95 in our store."

I took some doing and a little persistance, but the rebuild is complete. Also, I believe it's actually a better battery than the original from 7 years ago. I took the new one I purchased back for a refund - saved a ton of cash! I ended up using the rebuilt one a lot, and barely made a dent in the available power according to the built in digital display - recharged no problem to full capacity overnight, ready to use the next day. I ran a Minnkota and Humminbird on it. Recently my car died and used it to boost, no issues.
