VEHICLE STORAGE PROCEDURE
This vehicle will give you years of trouble-free service when properly maintained. Please follow the
recommended electric vehicle long-term storage checklist. For more information on the overall vehicle
maintenance, consult page 26.
If any of the following conditions exist, use these electric vehicle long-term storage methods:
• The charger should not remain plugged in continuously throughout the storage period.
• Electrolyte levels will not be maintained throughout the storage period.
Perform these following procedures at least two weeks prior to long-term storage to ensure the proper
mixing of water and electrolyte. It takes approximately five charge cycles with a minimum of 10 EUs removed
to properly mix the water with electrolyte. DO NOT water batteries immediately prior to storage. This will not
provide sufficient charge time to mix the water with the electrolyte. Freezing can occur when batteries are
stored in this condition.
