VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING

More importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (a partial drain followed by a full recharge) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak performance and long life. Follow these steps to break in your Boxster’s new batteries for maximum efficiency and life.

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

2.Operate your new Boxster 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 Boxster’s controls and have properly broken in your PMV’s batteries.

3.Fully recharge the batteries. They should now be at over 90% of their peak performance level.

4.Operate your Boxster 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 life. Keep your Boxster’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited life.

How should I store my Boxster and its batteries?

If you plan on not using your Boxster for an extended period of time, it is best to:

νFully charge its batteries prior to storage.

νDisconnect the battery harnesses from the electronic controller module.

νStore your Boxster in a warm dry environment.

νAvoid storing your Boxster where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.

WARNING! If your Boxster’s batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them. Cold or frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.

For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Boxster to raise the PMV off of the ground. This takes the weight off of the tires and prevents the possibility of flat spots from developing on the areas of the tires in contact with the ground.

What about public transportation?

If you intend to use public transportation while using your PMV, you must contact in advance the

transportation provider to determine their specific requirements.
