It may take a few days for the temperature of your Hurricanes batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room or
ambient temperature. More importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (a partial drain followed by a full recharge) to
establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle batterys peak performance and long life.
Please follow these steps to properly break in your Hurricanes new batteries for maximum efficiency and service life.
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88% of
its peak performance level.
2. Operate your new Hurricane PMV in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far
from your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your Hurricanes controls and
have properly broken in your Hurricane PMVs batteries.
3. Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.
4. Operate your Hurricane PMV again.
5. Fully recharge the batteries again.
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance
level and are able to last for an extended period of time.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your Hurricanes
batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged,
or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.
How should I store my Hurricane PMV and its batteries?
See XII. Care and Maintenance.
What about public transportation?
If you intend to use public transportation while using your Hurricane PMV, you must contact in advance the transportation
Provider to determine their specific requirements.
