• Always maintain a full charge on the batteries. For best battery life, avoid discharging the batteries
more than 80% on a consistent basis.
• Make sure new batteries are fully charged before using.
• Recharge batteries fully at the end of each day the vehicle is operated, allowing adequate time for
the charger to complete its charge cycle. The batteries in this vehicle do not have a "memory
