Suggestions
1. Do not disconnect the charger cord
until charging is completed and the
light is lit Green.
2. When fully charged the battery
charger will still trickle charge the
battery for optimum range.
3. Even when not in use, the scooter
should be charged at least every week
to ensure battery longevity.
4. Ambient temperature will effect
charging time. Charging time will be
longer in cold environments.
5. The batteries carry a 1 year warranty
which covers manufacturing defects
only. It does not cover battery faults
as result of not following the
guidelines herein.
Warning
1. Only use the charger supplied with the
scooter. Using the wrong type of
charger may cause damage. Never
disassemble or modify the scooter.
2. Always charge the scooter in a well
ventilated space. Avoid direct sunlight
or contact with water and moisture.
3. Do not charge or operate the scooter
in temperatures below -10ºC or above
50ºC. Do not expose the battery pack
to these temperatures.
About the Battery Pack
The battery pack contains two 12V 12ah
batteries. The batteries are sealed lead acid type
and are maintenance free and are non-spillable.
They are fitted with spade terminals.
The batteries require charging every week to
ensure battery longevity.
The batteries supplied as standard with the
battery pack are classified as safe for air
transport under IATA special provision A67.
Warning
If battery pack loses contact with the
scooter during operation switch the key
ignition off, re-insert the battery pack
and switch the ignition back on.
Battery Care
1. You should recharge the batteries after each
time the scooter is used to ensure maximum
battery range. The batteries should be
charged at least once a week even if the
scooter is not used.
2. After charging or replacing a new battery,
drive the scooter for a short period to
ensure battery capacity is sufficient.
3. In cold environments, the battery may
respond more slowly and range will be
reduced.
4. When driving on a gradient, the battery
gauge will fluctuate. This is a normal
occurrence.
5. Battery range is reduced when driving up
gradients or on rough terrain, as the scooter
uses more power.
6. The batteries should not be charged for
more than 24 hours.
Battery Replacement
It is natural for the battery capacity to reduce with
time, even if the battery is charged as directed
above. When the battery range is about half of its
peak performance we recommend that the batteries
are changed. Continuing to use an old battery will
result in a rapid reduction in the range of the
scooter and can cause excessive wear and tear on
other parts of the scooter.
