Charging The Battery - Magliner MGA81G16-3 Owner's Manual

Battery Life
The Motorized Gemini is powered by a 24V system using two non-spillable 12V AGM
lead acid batteries connected in series.* A fully-charged battery pack will last at least one
typical day; however, extreme temperature ranges and extreme loads can have an effect
on the amount of power available during one charging cycle. You will know that your
batteries need replacing when you notice diminished range or operational time.
Battery Care
• Store and charge the Motorized Gemini at temperatures between 50 and 100 degrees F .
• Always keep the machine on charge. Batteries stored for long periods of time will self-
discharge and may get so low, that the charger cannot recharge them.
• Keep the terminals clean and tight.
• Handle the batteries with care.
• The batteries may require 4-10 charge/discharge cycles until batteries charge up to their full
potential.
• DEEP DISCHARGE ON A CONTINUAL BASIS WILL SHORTEN THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE
BATTERIES.
• Battery performance may be reduced when operating in temperatures less than 40 degrees
F . You should anticipate a range reduction by 50% or more when operating at temperatures
below 32 degrees F .
The Motorized Gemini is provided with an off-board 24 V charger. To charge the machine, plug one
end of the charger into a 110 V wall outlet, and the other end into charger port. An LED light on the
charger will blink (or turn amber or red) while the unit is charging. When the unit is completely
charged, the light will turn solid green. For optimum performance, charge in temperatures from 50-
100 degrees F .
It is essential that the Motorized Gemini be kept on a charger whenever it is not in use; the batteries
will not overcharge. Before use, unplug the charger from the Motorized Gemini by carefully pulling
the connector out of the charger port in the throttle. Install the dust cover boot over the plug
connector on throttle to keep the charger port clean.
*Battery has a warranty of six (6) months
