CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
The battery condition meter on the control console assembly indicates the approximate strength of your batteries.
To check the charge, you must ensure the key is inserted in the key switch.
Follow these steps to safely charge your batteries.
1. Position your Scooter close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to power off your Scooter.
3. Ensure the manual freewheel lever is in the down (drive) position.
4. Plug the charger power cord into the charger power cord receptacle at the rear of your Victory XL-8.
5. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. We recommend you charge your Victory XL-
8s batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
6. You can periodically check the battery condition meter by inserting the key in the key switch, examining the
battery condition meter, and then removing the key. As the batteries charge, the battery condition meter
approaches the 100% reading.
7. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power cord from the wall outlet and then from the
charger power cord receptacle at the rear of your Victory XL-8.
8. Place the charger power cord in a safe place for future use.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
How does the charger work?
When your Victory XL-8s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder and sends more electrical current to
the batteries to bring up their charge. As the voltage of the batteries approaches a full charge, the charger sends
less electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent to them from the
charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your
Victory XL-8s batteries but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your Victory XL-
8s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
What do the LEDs on the charger indicate?
The onboard battery charger is equipped with two Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that indicate the charging status
of your Scooters batteries. The red LED lights up to indicate the battery charging is in progress. The green LED
flashes when your Scooters batteries reach full charge.
Can I use a different charger?
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced charging of your Victory XL-8s batteries, you should simultaneously
charge both batteries using only the manufacturer-supplied onboard battery charger.
