“full” 16 hours. DO NOT leave the battery on the charger for more than 30 hours.
See pages 3-4 for recharging instructions.

The 12-volt battery features a thermal fuse with a reset fuse in the battery
connector that will automatically trip and cut all power to the MBSL300 if the motor,
electric system or battery is overloaded. The fuse will reset and power will be
restored after approximately 15 seconds.To avoid losing power, follow these
guidelines:
-DO NOT overload the MBSL300. Maximum weight allowed: 59 kg (130 lbs).
-DO NOT
-DO NOT
tow anything behind the MBSL300
drive up steep slopes.
-DO NOT drive into fixed objects, which may cause the wheels to spin, causing
the motor to overheat.
-DO NOT drive in very hot weather; components may overheat.
-DO NOT allow water or other liquids to come in contact with the battery or
other electric components.
-DO NOT tamper with the electric system. Doing so may create a short, causing
the fuse to trip.
If the thermal fuse trips repeatedly during normal use, your MBSL300 may need repair.
