Battery Charging
GENERAL NOTES REGARDING THE BATTERY CHARGER
Battery chargers are subject to regular upgrades. For full instructions read the leaflet
supplied with the charger, which can be found in the Battery Charger box.
IMPORTANT
Batteries have a limited guarantee; if they have not been charged correctly and they fail,
they will not be replaced under the guarantee. An engineer will be able to detect “misuse
or neglect” immediately, so follow the correct charging procedures to prolong their life.
Charging your Batteries.
1. Always use Gel/AGM type batteries as replacements. NEVER use car lead acid
batteries. If in doubt ask your Quingo Service Provider.
2. Always use the correct charger. Never use a lead acid (Car type) charger. If the
fully charged light does not come on (normally green, varies with charger type) you
may have a battery or charger problem.
3. When storing, fully charge the batteries every week - never let them run low .
4. Do not leave the ignition on during charging
5. Do not leave the charger switched off with the plug connected to the vehicle. This
will discharge the batteries to zero.
6. Charge the batteries in a well ventilated area.
7. Do not charge the batteries in the open air. The battery charger is not waterproof.
8. Always charge the batteries fully after use (normally over night). Do not part
charge.
9. As the batteries age they will lose their electrical capacity so the range will
decrease.
10. Hilly areas have a great affect on the range. As the motors heat up, they lose their
efficiency, increasing demand on the batteries and decreasing the range.
11. If a faulty battery is found it is recommended to change both batteries.
12. If the charger is left on for a long period it will not affect the batteries. The charger is
fully automatic and will switch off when the batteries are full. However, if the vehicle
is not being used for a long period it is recommended that the charger should be
used every week to top up and then disconnect.
13. If the batteries have been discharged for a long period, do not attempt to charge.
Contact your service provider for advice.
Caution:
If one or both batteries are damaged they could heat
up when charging or in an extreme case explode. Ensure that all
damaged batteries are disposed of by the supplier.
