• If you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12
to 14 hours at a time.
• Keep your scooter's batteries fully charged.
• Avoid fully discharging your scooter's batteries. Doing this will shorten the life of the batteries.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep
your scooter's batteries fully charged whenever possible. Protect your scooter and batteries from
extreme heat or cold. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged,
stored in extreme temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be permanently
damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions such as smooth, flat or hard driving surfaces with
no curves or windy conditions. Often, you will face hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely
packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of which affect the distance or running time per
battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge.
• Always fully charge your scooter's batteries prior to daily use.
• Maintain but do not exceed the psi / bar/ kPa air pressure rating indicated on
pneumatic tires.
• Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, uneven, broken or soft surfaces as possible.
• Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
• Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion.
• Avoid stop-and-go driving.
What type and size of battery should I use?
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Check with your local
dealer for the correct replacement size and type for your scooter.
How do I change a battery in my scooter?
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles
and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling. Contact your local dealer for
battery purchase and replacement.
• Always use two batteries of the exact same type, size, chemistry, and amp-hour
(Ah) capacity. Refer to the specifications table in this manual and in the manual
supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.
• Contact your dealer if you have any questions regarding the batteries in your scooter.
• Do not replace the batteries while the scooter is occupied.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time.
