5. Fully recharge the batteries again.
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance
level and are able to last for an extended period of time.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery service life. Keep your Victory
XL-8’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or
stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged and cause unreliable performance and limited service life.
How should I store my Victory XL-8 and its batteries?
If you plan on not using your Victory XL-8 for an extended period of time, it is best to:
n Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
n Disconnect the battery harnesses from the electronic controller module.
n Store your Victory XL-8 in a warm, dry environment.
n Avoid storing your Victory XL-8 where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! If your Victory XL-8’s batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them. Cold
or frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Victory XL-8 to raise the
Scooter off the ground and take the weight off the tyres. This reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the
areas of the tyres contacting the ground.
