Battery Charging
When not in use, park the vehicle and connect the battery charger. The vehicle’s charging cord is located inside the right front bumper.
Always follow these precautions when charging the batteries:
-
Position the vehicle on a level surface.
-
Make sure the charging area is well ventilated.
-
Make sure the key is off.
-
Open the hood and any door enclosures or zippers.
-
Always use a extension cord with a minimum rating of 20 amps.
-
Inspect the charging cord and extension cord for cracks, loose connections and frayed wiring. Replace any damaged components promptly.
-
Always connect the vehicle charger to the extension cord first, then plug the cord into a wall receptacle.
-
Make sure the charger uses a dedicated circuit to prevent overloading. If charging multiple vehicles, each vehicle should use a dedicated circuit.
TIPAfter the batteries have fully recharged, the battery charger will automatically cycle in and out of the trickle charge mode to maintain the charge. -
When disconnecting the charger, always disconnect the extension cord from the wall receptacle first, then disconnect the cord from the vehicle’s charging cord.
