Operation and Maintenance
BATTERY CHARGER
The battery pack should be charged whenever convenient and no matter the
state of charge. If no green bars are lit, the battery pack should be put on charge
as soon as possible. A full recharge cycle (state of charge showing only 1 red
bar) can take 8 hours or more. Most recharge cycles will be shorter.
• Fully charge batteries before storing.
• In hot climates, battery self-discharge will increase.
• In cold climates, batteries could freeze if not properly
charged.
• If the vehicle will not be used for 10 or more days,
unplug the car, turn the main disconnect switch
‘OFF’ and arrange for monthly charging, OR leave
the car plugged in and the main disconnect switch
‘ON’, (only up to 24 weeks).
CAUTION!
Batteries can be permanently damaged (and the warranty
voided) if allowed to remain 30 days or more with low
charge.
