Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your PMV’s batteries:
!All day PMV use on a daily basis.
!Infrequent or sporadic PMV use.

We designed the battery charger so that it will not overcharge your PMV’s batteries. 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 that 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.
