How does the charger work?
When your PMV’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and less electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your PMV’s batteries, but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your PMV’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
What if my PMV’s batteries won’t charge?
