V I . BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING—FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) How does the charger work? When your Hurricane PMV’s battery voltage is low, the charger works extra 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 works less to complete the charging cycle by sending less and less electrical current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current bein

V I . BATTERIES AND CHARGING Why do my new batteries seem weak? Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than is used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. We work closely with our battery manufacturers to provide batteries that best suit your Hurricane PMV’s specific electrical demands. Fresh b

This takes the weight off of the tires and minimizes the possibility of flat spots from developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground. What about public transportation? If you intend to use public transportation while using your PMV, you must contact in advance the transportation provider to determine their specific requir
