FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. HOW FAST DOES IT GO?
    Florida law (click HERE for full text) and Federal law (click HERE for full text) provide that the maximum speed of your Low-Speed Vehicle must be at least 20 mph but not more than 25 mph.
      

  2. HOW FAR DOES IT GO ON A SINGLE CHARGE?
    Generally speaking, you can expect at least 25 miles to a charge with the Standard Battery Configuration (SIX 8-volt batteries),  or 50 - 60 miles to a charge with the Extended-Range Battery Configuration (EIGHT 6-volt batteries).  Depending on your style of driving and how you use other power-consuming devices (lights, stereo), you may be able to get as much as 40 miles on a single charge with Standard batteries or 70 miles with Extended Range.  

  3. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHARGE?
    Usually 6 - 8 hours or less, depending on how much battery capacity was used, as long as the batteries are adequately filled and the charger is plugged in and working properly.
     

  4. HOW DO YOU CHARGE IT?
    On all ACG models, the Delta-Q Quiq Intelligent Charger is "on-board" and needs only a heavy-duty extension cord, plugged into the vehicle at one end and into a regular household 110-volt outlet at the other end.  The Delta-Q will also work on 220 volts (you'll need an adapter plug).  The Delta-Q QuiQ Intelligent Charger detects when the batteries are fully charged and automatically shuts itself off.

  5. DO THE BATTERIES DEVELOP A MEMORY?
    No.  The batteries are standard flooded lead-acid batteries, and can be charged  at any opportunity with no concern for shortening the battery's life.  As a matter of fact, it is advisable to keep the vehicle plugged in when it is not being used.  
     

  6. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CHARGE?
    About 15 cents per hour.  A full charge typically uses less than $1.00 in electricity.
      

  7. HOW LONG DO THE BATTERIES LAST?
    About four to five years, as long as the batteries are properly maintained (kept fully watered) and regularly charged.   Battery prices fluctuate on a daily basis (depending on the price of lead), so please call for a current quote on battery prices.
