Charging
The battery manufacturer recommends charging the batteries at
temperatures b10° and +30°C in order to achieve the
charging times specified in “Technical data”.
Charging takes around 60% longer at +5°C than at +20°C. This
is because the battery finds it more difficult chemically to absorb
the current.
It is advisable to charge the Mini Crosser in a heated room. If
this is not possible every day, it should at least be done once a
week.
Please note that the capacity of the batteries will reduce over
time and at low temperatures. Battery capacity at -10°C is half
that at +20°C.
New batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been
charged and discharged about 20 times.
If the Mini Crosser is not going to be used for an extended
period, charging once a month will suffice. The batteries must
ALWAYS be fully charged when put into storage, as they cannot
tolerate being left in a discharged state for lengthy periods.
Note!
The charger must NOT be placed on the seat during charging.
The Mini Crosser should be charged while not in use. The
charger supplied from the factory is of the automatic type and
switches to trickle charging (very low power consumption)
once the batteries are fully charged. The charger will flash until
charging is complete. Then it will show a steady light.
The charger CANNOT overcharge the batteries! You can
therefore leave the charger connected until the Mini Crosser is
next used.
