BATTERIES AND CHARGING-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
How does the charger work?
When your Maximas 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
and less electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current being sent to them from
the charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your
Maximas batteries, but it does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your Maximas
batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
What does the LED on the charger indicate?
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 malfunc-
tion, it is a normal condition. The green LED goes off when the batteries reach 26V DC, which may take a few
minutes after the charger has been unplugged.
Can I use a different charger?
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced charging of your Maximas batteries, we prefer and highly recommend
the simultaneous charging of both batteries by use of the onboard battery charger.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your Maxima’s batteries:
n All day scooter use on a daily basis.
n Infrequent or sporadic scooter use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine just how often and for how long you should charge your
Maximas batteries. We designed the onboard charger so that it will not overcharge your scooters batteries
however, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough or if you do not
charge them on a regular basis. Follow the five guidelines below to provide safe and reliable battery operation and
charging.
n If you use your Maxima daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your Maxima will
be ready each morning to give you a full day of service. We recommend that you charge your Maximas
batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
n If you use your Maxima once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a
time.
n Keep your Maximas batteries fully charged.
n Avoid deeply discharging your Maximas batteries.
n Do not charge your Maximas batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
