Prolonged Storage

During periods of storage, the batteries will need attention to
keep them maintained and prevent discharge.
In winter conditions, the battery must be fully charged to pre-
vent the possibility of freezing. A fully charged battery will not
freeze in temperatures above -75° F (-60° C). Although the
chemical reaction is slowed in cold temperatures, the battery
must be stored fully charged, and disconnected from any cir-
cuit that could discharge the battery. The controller should be
disconnected from the batteries by setting the RUN-MAINTE-
NANCE/STORAGE switch, located under the seat on the
passenger side, to the MAINTENANCE/STORAGE position.
The batteries must be cleaned and all deposits neutralized
and removed from the battery case to prevent self discharge.
The battery charger may be left connected to the vehicle to
maintain a full charge on the batteries, provided the charger
is plugged into an active electrical source. If power to the
electrical source is disconnected or interrupted the battery
charger will continue to check the charge on the battery pack,
this will draw power from the battery pack and eventually
drain the batteries if power is not restored in a timely manner.

Battery Charging

The battery charger is designed to fully charge the battery
set. If the batteries are severely deep cycled, some auto-
matic battery chargers contain an electronic module that may not activate and the battery charger will not function. Auto-
matic chargers will determine the correct duration of charge to the battery set and will shut off when the battery set is
fully charged. Always refer to the instructions of the specific charger used.
Before charging, the following should be observed:
Do not overfill batteries. The charging cycle will expel electrolyte and result in component damage.
• The electrolyte level in all cells must be at the recommended level and cover the plates.
