Charging a nickel metal hydride battery
1. Switch off Wizzybug main power.
2. Plug the charger into the
socket on the back of
Wizzybug.
3. You can check the percentage
of battery power remaining by
removing the seat.
Then press the button on the battery
label and observe which energy
level LED lights up, as shown.
4. Connect the charger to the mains supply. Maximum charge
should be reached in about 12 hours.
5. When you have nished charging, disconnect the charger
from the mains supply. Then unplug the charger connector
from the back of Wizzybug.
Wizzybug can be used even if full charge has not been reached.
However, if repeated partial charges are carried out, an extended
charge of a further 12 hours is recommended to restore the
battery to maximum capacity. No damage will be caused if
Wizzybug is left charging for longer periods.
To prevent Wizzybug from being driven when the charger is connected
the control system is automatically turned off. If the rear lights are
left switched on, these will also be automatically turned off.
