BATTERY CHARGER

The battery pack should be charged whenever convenient and no matter the
state of charge. If no green bars are lit, the battery pack should be put on charge
as soon as possible. A full recharge cycle (state of charge showing only 1 red
bar) can take 8 hours or more for standard battery pack, and up to 14 hours
for heavy duty battery pack. Most recharge cycles will be shorter.
• Fully charge batteries before storing.
• In hot climates, battery self-discharge will increase.
• In cold climates, batteries could freeze if not properly charged.
• If the vehicle will not be used for 10 or more days, unplug the car, turn
the main disconnect switch 'OFF' and arrange for monthly charging,
OR leave the car plugged in and the main disconnect switch 'ON', (only
up to 24 weeks).
Batteries can be permanently damaged (and the warranty voided) if allowed
to remain 30 days or more with low charge.
