Maintenance (cont’d)
Battery (gas scooter)
Your scooter uses a sealed, maintenance-
free lead acid battery rated GT5l-VS 4AH.
z
Charging new batteries:
Fill the
battery with the acid in the pre-packed
bottles and allow to rest for 30 minutes
prior to sealing the battery. After
sealing, charge the battery using a low-
current charge (.5A - 1A for <6 hours).
z
Recharging batteries:
For best
results, charge the battery at a low
current (see above). You can fast-
charge the battery at 2A for up to 1 hour. You may wish to use a trickle
charger (<.5A) to keep the battery charged if you use your scooter
infrequently or for short trips. You can attach a trickle charger for up to a
week.
WARNING! BATTERY ACID IS EXTREMELY CORROSIVE. ALWAYS
WEAR GLOVES AND EYE PROTECTION WHEN HANDLING ACID. IF
YOUR SKIN OR EYE CONTACTS THE ACID, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH
WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING; CALL YOUR LOCAL POISON CONTROL CENTER.
