charging, temperature, usage and other factors.
Listed below are guidelines to prolong battery life.
1. After using the scooter always charge it at the
end of the day
even after a short journey.
2. If you plan not to use the scooter for a
prolonged amount of time
, place it on charge
once a week, for a 12 to 14 hour period.
3. Always use the correct charger with the
correct batteries as recommended by the dealer.
The battery charger has a small indicating lamp.
When the charger is connected to the mains supply
and switched on the lamp will show green. When
the battery is being charged it shows red and when
the battery is fully charged the lamp will change to
green.
Always ensure that the lamp shows green
before switching off and disconnecting the charger
at the mains.
4. If the batteries have been flat for a long time
(about
2 months) it is recommended you contact
the dealer before charging.
5. Do not charge the Scooter / Battery Pack in
the open / out of doors –
it may rain and the
battery charger is not waterproof.
