Mega battery pack
The mega battery pack’s sealed lead acid batteries should be recharged
after each use. They are air-tight, maintenance-free, rechargeable and of
excellent quality.
The mega battery pack undergoes a so-called self-discharge; therefore, you
should connect your mega battery pack, whenever possible, to a charger.
The charging automatism, which switches from charging the battery to re-
taining the charge when it is full, kicks in and keeps the battery from over-
charging.
If you take good care of your mega battery pack by recharging it regularly,
you prolong its durability. The v-max+’s electronics constantly check the
battery’s charge and thus prevent a total discharge, if used adequately.
F
Avoid a total discharge of the mega battery pack. Recharge it after each
partial discharge, i.e. after each use of the
v-max+.
F
Charging your batteries is taking good care of them
!
If your mega battery pack has not reached its full capacity, it is possible
that with a new mega battery pack it takes a few charging/discharging cy-
cles to build up the full capacity.
If fully charged batteries empty faster than usual, they are probably used
up. In such case have your batteries checked by your local dealer and ex-
changed, if necessary.
F
If the v-max+
is at a standstill for some time, please connect it to the
charger to retain the charge. This does not damage the sealed lead acid
batteries, on the contrary, it increases their durability
.
F
If the mega battery pack is totally discharged, it takes a maximum of ap-
proximately
14 hours to recharge it.
The mega
battery pack can be charged in any position. It is considered as
safe as dry cells and admitted to air travel by DOT and IATA
.
Always charge your battery pack with the AAT charger delivered with your
v-max+.
This particular charger automatically turns off when the batteries
are fully charged keeping them from being overcharged.
