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 Advisor.
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/ 8-12
hours). Do not part charge even after short journeys.
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.
