As I commented earlier. Set it to charge , leave for 12 to 18 hrs then unplug and water. Just do this any its fine. No need to cancel charge. It is just maintaining itself as it should before you unplug and water. Then reset the water.
Do it now.

Dont forget to :
remove the traction fuse,
only LOOSEN the brush carrier nuts to allow rotation
NOT overtighten the bolts holding the brush tails to the carrier mounting
Finally make sure you get them in the correct way round if you have bevelled brushes.

Yes the one near the 12volt battery. One is a fuse, one is a link. Take both out if you wish for peace of mind.
Drive very steadily and slowly to start with on the new brushes, they will take a while to bed in.
