5.4.2 Battery Break-In
When the batteries are new, make sure to charge the battery pack before its first
use. Limit the use of new batteries for first five cycles. New batteries are not capable of
their rated output until they have been discharged a number of times. It takes 90-120
cycles to fully maximize range.
5.4.3 Charge Cycling
For normal overnight charging use only 230 volt AC input
. Limit the use of
the 115 volt AC input to emergency situations and occasional charging when vehicle is
not in use and/or 230 volt input is not available.
Continual use of the 115 volt input
will lead to undercharging of the batteries, reducing performance and battery life.
Do not excessively discharge batteries. Excessive discharge can cause polarity
reversal of individual cells resulting in complete failure shortly thereafter.
The batteries
state of charge should not drop below 50% for maximum battery life.
