package. (Fig. 1)
• Connect the charger cord to the power outlet; the length
of the charger cord is limited. DO NOT pull the cord
out beyond the yellow mark otherwise the cord will not
be able to rewind.
• Charger LED will be lit at the beginning of charging.
The charging cycle (duration) is 8 hours, but it will vary
up to 10 hours, based on the status of battery and
ambient temperature.

completed.

will be seriously shortened or decayed if the battery is repeatedly used without being
fully charged. For optimum performance, charge the batteries every day.
2. When finished charging, the electric power will slowly discharge if the cord is
disconnected.
3. When the vehicle is not in use or is in storage, the batteries will slowly discharge if
not plugged in.
4. Charging time will be affected by the ambient temperature, and it will be longer in
the wintertime.
