New batteries cannot initially hold all of their capacity. The approximate capacity of
the battery pack increases as the number of charge cycles increases.

Ambient Temperature Implications on Batteries
1. Battery range decreases as ambient temperature decreases. This can affect the
range by up to 30%.
2. Batteries discharge when left uncharged. They can discharge up to 13% per
month (higher rates in warmer climates) with the key off and much faster if the
key is left on.
3. Batteries can freeze if left uncharged at low ambient temperatures.

Charger Operation
Open the hood and any door enclosures or zippers. This will decrease charger
temperature, which allows it to operate more efficiently, and shorten charge times. See
pages 68-69 for charging procedures.
1. Always use extension cords with the appropriate ratings for the country in which it
is used. In North
America this is a UL rating. The cords must also be rated for the conditions in which
they are used,
such as being rated for protection from oil in a garage or workshop environment.
2. Use the proper cord wire gauges for the cord length used:
Length:
<25 ft (7.5 m)
<50 ft (15 m)
<100 ft (30 m)
Gauge:
16AWG (1.5mm2)
14AWG (2.5mm2)
10AWG (6.0mm2)
Battery Operation Range
Range is significantly affected by tire pressure, alignment, terrain and driving style.
Always maintain proper tire pressure as specified on safety labels.
