			==Indicator lights==
			Two indicator lights were added to the front panel of the charger to show the status of power and fork lift connections.

			The yellow light is one of two Linrose model B1050A3 120V ambler neon lights. Two such lights were wired in series to operate on 208V. The second yellow light is in inside the charger. They are wired directly to the 208V supplied to the charger.

			The green light is a Linrose model B1091M5 24V LED wired in series with a 1.5k Ohm 2W resistor to the charger output cable, which connects to the fork lift.
