This chapter describes how to charge and care for the MWS batteries.
The battery charger is a fully automatic, maintenance-free charger. Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION:
The charger's power switch does not control MWS power. The MWS power switch
located on the power panel controls power to the MWS and connected devices.
To charge the battery, plug the MWS’s AC power cord into a grounded outlet. Charge the
battery:
before using the MWS for the first time (charge it for 7 hours)
when the MWS beeps (see “Battery Life” for indications of low battery conditions)
when the MWS is not in use.
You may be able to operate equipment connected to the MWS for up to four hours while the
cart is charging. However, use of MWS equipment results in slower charge rates.
For optimal performance, we recommend that you turn off all equipment and allow the MWS to
achieve a full charge before returning the MWS to use.
You cannot overcharge the battery. The battery charger is “intelligent”; it monitors the battery
condition and does not overcharge the lead acid battery. Battery life is extended by frequent
charging.
CAUTION:
Only qualified service personnel may install or replace the two 12-volt
(55 or 75 amp-hours) sealed lead-acid non-venting batteries on the MWS.
If replacing batteries, you must use the same type of battery from the same manufacturer
(as the ones provided with the MWS).
Make sure the batteries are NRTL-recognized.
Also, BOTH batteries MUST be replaced at the same time to maintain capacity match.

WARNING:
DANGER! RISK OF ELECTRICAL AND FIRE HAZARD. CERTAIN ACTIONS MAY
RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY, SHOCK, OR BURNS.
Do not
disassemble the battery charger.
Do not
operate the charger if it has been damaged in any way. Do not spill liquids into the
charger, such as water or soft drink.
Do not
expose the battery charger to rain or snow. Never charge a frozen battery. The
colder the battery, the longer it takes to charge.
Plug only into a three-prong grounded outlet. Do not alter the AC power cord or plug
provided. Do not operate the battery charger with a damaged cord or plug.
Do not
let the battery remain fully or partly discharged for a long time; keep it charged.
