FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
How does the charger work?
When your Hurricanes battery voltage is low, the charger works harder and sends more electrical current to the
batteries to bring up their charge. As the voltage of the batteries approaches a full charge, the charger sends less
electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent to them from the charger is
at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on the batteries but
does not overcharge them. Even though the charging maintenance feature is built into your Hurricanes onboard
charger, we do not recommend that you charge your Hurricanes batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
What does the LED on the charger indicate?
The red LED indicates that the batteries are being charged. The green LED turns on after the batteries have been
fully charged. In some instances, the green LED may stay on after the charger has been unplugged from the wall
outlet. Although users may perceive this as a charger malfunction, it is normal. The green LED goes off after a few
minutes, when the batteries reach 26 VDC.
Can I use a different charger?
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced charging of your Hurricanes batteries, you should simultaneously
charge both batteries using only the manufacturer supplied onboard battery charger.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your Hurricanes batteries: all day
Scooter use on a daily basis and infrequent Scooter use.
