Batteries
Ambient Temperature Implications on Batteries
1. Batteries discharge when left uncharged. They can discharge with the key off, and much
faster if the key is left on.
2. Batteries can become too cold to function at low ambient temperatures. See page 30.
3. Always store the vehicle as recommended. See page 67.
Charger Operation
See pages 63-64 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)
Gauge:
16AWG (1.5mm2)
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.
