Please follow these steps to properly break in your PMV’s new batteries for maximum efficiency and service life:

1.Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This initial charging cycle brings the batteries up to about 88% of their peak performance level.

2.Operate your new PMV in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your PMV’s controls and have properly broken in your PMV’s batteries.

3.Fully recharge the batteries. This recharge should bring the batteries up to about 90% of their peak performance level.

4.Operate your PMV again.

5.Fully recharge the batteries again.

6.After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance level and are able to last for an extended period of time.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?

Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery service life. Keep your PMV’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged and cause unreliable performance and limited service life.

For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your PMV to raise it off the ground and take the weight off the tires. This reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.

What about public transportation?

If you intend to use public transportation while using your PMV, you must contact the transportation Provider in advance to determine their specific requirements.
