Your Maxima is equipped with 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.

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

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

READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE

The battery condition meter on the control console assembly indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a color code. Green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See figure 10.

You can also check the charge by the ammeter, located on the electronic controller assembly. The charger power cord must be plugged into a standard wall outlet in order to obtain a reading. When the amperage reading is at or near zero amps, charging is complete. See figure 11.
