*Battery No. 2 was immediately suspected as the problem. After checking No. 2 with a hydrometer, this was
clearly the case with the negative post cell completely dead. Battery No. 2 should therefore be replaced with
a battery that has the same age and usage as the other batteries.
BATTERY STORAGE
When storing batteries during the off-season or maintaining a replacement stock, follow these guidelines to
keep batteries in good condition.
V-Glide 36 Volt Vehicles
1. Keep the batteries clean and free of corrosion as outlined in the Battery Care section.
2. Batteries should be wired in series so they can be connected to the charger. Batteries that are in cars
for winter storage can be left in the cars.
3. Fully charge the batteries prior to storage.
4. Store in a cool area. The colder the area in which the batteries are stored, the less the batteries will
self-discharge. Batteries stored at 0°F will discharge very little over a four-month period. Batteries
stored at 80°F will have to be recharged every few weeks.
5. Check the state of charge periodically. Batteries that are discharged and left in a cold environment can
freeze and crack. If the specific gravity drops below 1.220, the batteries should be recharged. See the
chart below.
6. The frequency of recharging required will depend on the temperature of the storage area, but it is rec-
ommended that the batteries be monitored for state of charge every month. Also, if the storage area is
unheated in a cold climate and recharge is required, it is recommended that the area be heated to at
least 60°F prior to charge. Batteries do not charge effectively in cold temperatures for the same rea-
sons that they do not discharge as rapidly in cold temperatures.
PowerDrive System 48 and PowerDrive Plus Vehicles:
1. Keep the batteries clean and free of corrosion as outlined in the Battery Care Section.
2. Batteries should be wired in series so they can be connected to the charger. Batteries that are in cars
for winter storage can be left in the cars.
