Battery Charging

WARNING
An overheated battery may explode, causing severe injury or death. Always watch charging times carefully. Stop charging if the battery becomes very warm to the touch. Allow it to cool before resuming charging.

To ensure your battery maintains its level of charge, the battery should be connected to a battery trickle charger using the battery charge port when not in use. The battery charge port 1 is located on the back of the seat.

  1. Check the battery voltage with a voltmeter or multimeter. A fully charged battery will register 12.8 V or higher.

  2. If the voltage is less than 12.8 volts, recharge the battery at 1.2 amps or less until the battery voltage is 12.8 or greater using the battery charge port.

Using a Constant Current Charger

When charging the battery using an automatic charger, always refer to the charger manufacturer's instructions before use.

When using a constant current charger, use the following guidelines:
