Page 23: Batteries And Charging
B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G Your Cyclone requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an onboard 3-amp charging system. n Charge your Cyclone’s batteries prior to using it for the first time. - Page 24 B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) How does the charger work? When your Cyclone’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the batteries to bring up their charge.
- Page 25 B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G How can I get maximum range or distance per charge? Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions—smooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. Often, you will face hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of which affect the distance or running time per battery charge.
- Page 26 B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G Pride works closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your Cyclone’s specific electrical demands. Fresh batteries arrive daily at Pride and are shipped fully charged to our customers. During shipping, the batteries may encounter temperature extremes that can influence their initial performance.
