INTRODUCTION
Storage Preparation
The optimum storage temperature range is between 65°F and 82°F (18°C and 28°C)
• Charge the battery module based on climate during storage period.
• In cold climates, fully charge the battery module. Make sure that the charging operation is complete and there
are no faults displayed on the charger. The green light on the charger should be on, indicating the charge
cycle is complete.
• In hot climates, store the vehicle with a 30% to 50% charge of battery pack capacity.
• Turn the key to the OFF position and remove it from the key switch.
• Check the run - tow switch under the seat, make sure it is set in the TOW/STORAGE position.
• Turn off all accessories.
The storage time for properly charged Lithium-Ion batteries supplied with this vehicle varies based on the ambient
temperature.
Setting State of Charge (SOC)
The optional SOC meter or the hand held programmer may be used to determine the state of charge of the battery
module. If the SOC is below 30%, charge the battery module until the state of charge reaches 50%. The charge cycle
may be interrupted by disconnecting the charger from the AC power source first, then from the charging receptacle on
the vehicle. If the SOC is above 50%, operate the vehicle until the SOC is below 50%.
During Storage
Check the state of charge every 30 days. If the SOC is below 30%, charge the battery module until the state of charge
reaches 50%.
Extreme Low Temperature Storage
If the ambient temperature is below -4°F (-20°C) DO NOT:
• turn the vehicle key to the ON position
• drive the vehicle
• tow the vehicle
• charge the vehicle
• operate accessories
• turn the lights on (if equipped)
Returning Vehicle to Service
At the end of the storage period, charge the battery module to 100% before operating the vehicle.
Before charging the vehicle be sure that the ambient temperature is between 14°F (-10°C) and 113°F (45°C) and the
vehicle has had time to adjust to the temperature.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Lithium-Ion batteries are recyclable:
• Contact the distributor or manufacturer for information on returning or recycling used or damaged battery
packs.
•Contact local or state environmental department for disposal information.
•Refer to the Maintenance section for additional information.
Temperature Length of Storage Time
-22°F to -4°F (-30°C to -20°C) One month at 100% battery charge, all accessories turned off.
-4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C) Six months at 100% battery charge, all accessories turned off.
113°F to 140°F (45°C to 60°C) One month at 30% - 50% charge, all accessories turned off.
