Your Victory XL uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an onboard 3-amp charging system designed for ease of use and convenience. See figure 7.

νCharge your Victory XL’s batteries prior to using it for the first time.

νKeep your batteries fully charged to keep your Victory XL running trouble free.

NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.

Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:

WARNING! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a properly wired standard wall outlet.

WARNING! Removal of the grounding prong can create an electrical hazard. If necessary properly install an approved 3-prong adaptor to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and or property damage.

1.Position your Victory XL close to a standard wall outlet.

2.Remove the key from the key switch.

3.Make certain that the freewheel lever is in the down (drive) position.

4.Plug the charger power cord into the charger power cord receptacle at the rear of your Victory XL. See figure 7.

5.Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet.

6.We recommend that you charge your Victory XL’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours.

7.You can check the charge periodically by the battery condition meter on the control console assembly. How- ever, you must first unplug the battery charger and then insert the key. The battery condition meter on the control console assembly indicates the approximate strength of your batteries. When fully charged, the meter reads 24 volts. You can also check the charge by the ammeter. See figure 7. The battery charger must be plugged into a wall outlet to obtain a reading. When the amperage reading is at or near zero (0) amps, the battery charging is complete.

8.When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power cord from the wall outlet and then from the charger power cord receptacle at the rear of your Victory XL.

9.Place the charger power cord in a safe place for future use.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

How does the charger work?

When your Victory XL’s battery voltage is low, the charger works extra 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 works less to complete the charging cycle by sending less and less electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current being sent to them from the charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your Victory XL’s batteries, but it does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your Victory XL’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.

Can I use a different charger?

For the safest, most efficient and balanced charging of your Victory XL’s batteries, we prefer and highly recom- mend the simultaneous charging of both batteries by use of the onboard battery charger.
