conditions at various times: charger power on, charging in
progress, charging complete. Refer to the label on the
charger for a complete explanation of these indicators.

charging.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
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 rec-
ommend that you charge your PMV’s batteries for more
than 24 consecutive hours.
