will be seriously shortened or decayed if the batteries are repeatedly used without
being fully charged. For optimum performance charge the batteries
every
day.

Always continue the charge until the needle stops in green area. Do not stop the
charging cycle before it is complete.
3.
While not in use, or in storage the batteries will slowly discharge if not plugged in.
4.
If you do not use your vehicle for long periods of time, it should be charged at least
every three months to keep the batteries in good condition.
5.
Charging time will be affected by the ambient temperature, Therefore it will be
longer in the wintertime.
