VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING

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

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

νKeep your batteries fully charged to keep your Boxster running trouble free.

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 Boxster 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 Boxster. See figure 7.

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

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

7.You can, if you wish, periodically check the battery condition meter by inserting the key in the key switch, examining the battery condition meter, and then removing the key. See figure 6. As the batter- ies charge, the battery condition meter approaches the 100% reading.

8.When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power cord from the wall outlet and then from the charger power cord receptacle.

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

BATTERIES AND CHARGING - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

How does the charger work?

When your Boxster’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 Boxster’s batteries, but it does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your Boxster’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.

Can I use a different charger?

For the safest, most efficient and balanced charging of your Boxster’s batteries, we prefer and highly recommend the simultaneous charging of both batteries by use of the on-board battery charger.
