WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information.
Follow these steps to safely charge your batteries:
1.Position your PMV close to a standard electrical outlet.
2.Remove the key from the key switch.
3.Ensure both freewheel levers are in the drive position.
4.Extend the charger power cord (see figure 6A) and plug it into the electrical outlet. We recommend you charge your PMV’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
5.When the batteries are fully charged (indicated by the ammeter reading 0), unplug the onboard charger power cord from the electrical outlet.
There are two LED indicators (red and green) on the front of the battery charger. When lit, the red LED indicates that the batteries are being charged.
When lit, the green LED indicates that the batteries are fully charged.
When the green and red LEDs are simultaneously lit, it indicates charging is nearly complete.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit on your PMV. Your PMV does not run and the battery condition meter does not operate while the batteries are charging.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
How does the charger work?
When your PMV’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder and sends more electrical current to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the voltage of the batteries approaches a full charge, the charger sends less electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent to them from the charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your PMV’s batteries but does not overcharge them. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions.
Can I use a different charger?
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced charging of your PMV’s batteries, you should simultaneously charge both batteries using only the
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your PMV’s batteries: All day PMV use on a daily basis.
Infrequent or sporadic PMV use.
