If you do not use your V-drive for a long time, it should still be charged at least every week to
keep the battery in a fully usable condition and to prevent damage to the battery.
When fully charged, the battery charger will still trickle charge the battery to ensure optimum
range.
Do not leave the charger plugged into the battery after disconnecting it from the mains. This
will cause a temporary power drain and reduction of drive range. It is also recommended to
unplug the battery charger from the mains when not in use.

It is recommended to keep charging for a couple of hours after the charger LED has turned green.
This will maintain and increase the capacity of your batteries. Using the charger supplied, the
charging duration is approximately 8 hours, but to ensure optimum performance a 12-hour charge
cycle is recommended. Do not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours.
The charger LED will also illuminate green if the charger is switched on but not connected to the
batteries.
