With these considerations in mind, you can determine just how often and for how long you should charge your PMV’s batteries. We designed the onboard charger so that it does not overcharge your PMV’s bat- teries; however, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge them on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and charging:
If you use your PMV daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your PMV will be ready each morning to give you a “full day” of service. We recommend you charge your PMV’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
If you use your PMV once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a time.
Keep your PMV’s batteries fully charged. Avoid deeply discharging your PMV’s batteries.
Do not charge your PMV’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
What if my PMV doesn’t arrive with batteries?
