If your Nexus will not be used for a period of 7 days or more, turn the battery off after use.

Before performing any maintenance to the batteries, it's essential to cut all power to the vehicle. To turn off the power supply, make sure the cart is in park, turn the Tow/Run switch to "Tow", and remove the key from the ignition. Once this has been completed, routine maintenance may begin.
Always keep sparks and flames away from batteries including smoking.

Cleaning

Batteries can attract dust, dirt, and grime. Keeping them clean will help you spot signs of trouble if they appear, and avoid problems associated with grime.

Charging

To charge your Nexus battery, first ensure the ignition is in the off position, then insert the included charging cord into the battery charger power port located on the base of the battery compartment. Once plugged in, the battery charger will automatically charge the battery, and then turn off once the charge cycle is completed. When power is connected to the battery charger, the vehicle's display screen will show current battery percentage for a short period of time, and then go back into standby mode. To get this to show again, unplug the battery charger, wait 30 seconds, and then reconnect. There is also a battery charger status light on the dashboard. The chart below shows the light sequins, for more detailed information, please refer to the charger manual.

• Do not plug in, or unplug the charger while the vehicle's ignition is on.
• A dedicated 20 amp circuit is required for battery charging.
• If the distance to your power source is greater than the length of the included charging cord, only use a 10 gauge or larger extension cord of no more than 25'.
• The battery system will charge regardless of whether the battery is on or off.

The battery should be recharged each day and or after the vehicle is used. Lithium batteries do not have a "memory" and should not be fully discharged before charging.

• Checking cables and securing connections to Battery.
• Recharging batteries.
• Monitoring inactivity, long term storage, and colder temperatures.

Although Lithium batteries do not require the same type of routine maintenance as Lead Acid, it is still strongly recommended to use the proper suggested care to maintain their efficiency. This includes the Lithium Checklist and more detailed information noted in the user manual.

It's important to be aware that improper management can void warranties and cause further issues with the service of your vehicle.
For additional questions and customer support, please contact your local dealer or Bintelli manufacturer.

Regular Maintenance Checklist

Client Responsibilities

Battery Cables – Tighten battery cables per battery manufacturer instructions located on batteries. Failure to tighten once a month could result in damage to the batteries. BEFORE placing the vehicle into service, please check all battery cables and tighten as they may become loose due to turbulence in shipping.
Charger Power Cord – Do not remove the manufacturer tag on the power cord as doing so will void the warranty. Always unplug the charger before turning the vehicle on.
Charging – Each charger must have a dedicated circuit with 20 amps. The vehicle should be left plugged in when not in use. The charger will trickle charge at 80% only when needed. Improper charging will lower the range.
Extension Cords – We do not recommend using an extension cord to charge. If you do use one, it must be heavy-duty (10 gauge) as the extension cord will determine how many amps the charger will receive.

Parking Brake – All vehicles have a parking brake (hand or foot). Driving with a parking brake engaged will damage the motor and braking systems and can create a fire hazard. Always disengage the parking brake before driving.

Storage – Vehicles should NOT be left out in the elements 24/7. We recommend storing covered in a garage environment in order to preserve the integrity of the paint and fit/finish of the vehicle.
Tires – Must be inflated to proper capacity. Upon delivery, please check all lug nuts and tighten them as they may become loose due to turbulence in shipping. Additionally, check lug nut tightness once a month.
Tow Switch – Must be pointed to "Run" and not "Tow" to operate. Must be in "Tow" position if towing.
