Battery Charging And Care - Mercury Monami Owner's Handbook Manual

6.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY
Follow the procedure below step by step:
1. Switch the ignition (OFF)
2. Connect the charger's power cord into the power outlet.
3. Connect the charger's round plug to the charging socket (the charging socket is located on the left hand
side of the tiller head)
4. Switch the charger on.
5. Both the charger's red and orange LEDs will be lit when beginning charging. The charging duration is
approximately 10 hours. To ensure optimum performance a 12 – 14 hour charge is recommended.
6. Both the charger's LEDs will be lit during the charging process. The orange LED will turn green when
bulk charging is complete after which the charger trickle charges the batteries. Trickle charging
optimises the batteries and is necessary to maintain or improve battery performance.
7. Turn off the charger, disconnect the power cord and the round plug from charger socket on the scooter.
Suggestion
1. Do not disconnect the charger cord if charging is not completed. The battery life will be seriously
shortened or decayed if the battery is repeatedly used without being fully charged. Therefore be sure to
charge the battery fully every time.
2. Always complete the charging until the orange LED light turns green. NEVER stop charging before it
is complete.
3. When fully charged, the battery charger will still trickle charge the battery to ensure optimum range.
4. If you do not use your scooter for a long time, it should be charged at least every week to keep the
battery in a fully usable condition.
5. The ambient temperature will affect charging time. Charging time will be longer in the winter.
6. After charging, do not leave the charger socket plugged in to the scooter, as this will cause a power
drain on the scooter and temporarily reduce its range.
7. The batteries carry a twelve-month manufacturer's warranty. This warranty only covers issues relating
to manufacturing faults, and not faults relating to failure to recharge the batteries as instructed above.
8. Should range or power problems arise, please charge your scooter for 24 hours continually and then
retry the scooter.
Attention: Please follow the rules below to avoid accidents while charging.
1. Please use the Wheeltech 24V charger only, and recharge the battery to its full capacity every time.
You may damage the battery and scooter if you use a charger which is not to the correct
specification.
2. Never disassemble or modify the charger.
3. Please charge in a well-ventilated space where it is not directly exposed to the sunlight. Do not
charge in surroundings where it is humid or under rainfall and morning dews.
4. Do not charge in temperatures less than -10°C or higher than +50°C as the charger may not work
well and the batteries may become damaged.
