with low charge.

Battery Care During Storage
To allow for extended storage time, your GEM vehicle has several
features to enhance battery life.
A fully charged vehicle can be safely stored (with the power key
switch in the “OFF” position), for up to 10 days. It will lose some of
its charge during this period.
NOTE: To eliminate battery charge loss due to component current
drain, the main disconnect switch must be turned off--- if the vehicle
will be stored for more than 10 days. The main disconnect switch
can be seen on page 30.
NOTE: Batteries should be fully charged, when storing longer then
48 hours.
For storing your vehicle for extended periods of time (30 days or
more), it is recommended that you make arrangements to have the
vehicle recharged every 30 days while in storage.
