FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ
S
)
How does the charger work?
When battery voltage is low, the charger works harder and sends more electrical current to the batteries to
bring up their charge. As battery voltage approaches a full charge, the charger sends less electrical current
to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly zero
amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your batteries but does not
overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
Can I use a different charger?
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced charging of the batteries, you should simultaneously charge
both batteries using only the manufacturer-supplied onboard battery charger.
