IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
With these considerations in mind, you can determine just how often and for how long you should charge
your PMV’s batteries. We designed the onboard charger so that it does not overcharge your PMV’s bat-
teries; however, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and
if you do not charge them on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable
battery operation and charging:
If you use your PMV daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your PMV
will be ready each morning to give you a “full day” of service. We recommend you charge your
PMV’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
If you use your PMV once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours
at a time.
Keep your PMV’s batteries fully charged.
Avoid deeply discharging your PMV’s batteries.
Do not charge your PMV’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
What if my PMV doesn’t arrive with batteries?
If your PMV does not come with batteries already installed from Pride, you have chosen to purchase the bat-
teries separately. Carefully follow the instructions below for proper wire placement and battery installation.
To install the batteries in your PMV:
1. Remove the seat and rear shroud from the PMV.
2. Place the batteries into the battery wells with the terminals facing away from the seat post. Be sure
that the positive (+) terminal of the left side battery and the negative (-) terminal of the right side
battery are facing forward. See figure 8.
3. Connect the main circuit breaker to the front battery terminals.
4. Connect the rear black cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
5. Connect the rear red cable to the positive (+) battery terminal.
6. Fasten the battery tie-down straps.
7 Reinstall the rear shroud and seat.
