Charging the batteries
The Excite can be equipped with two dry 12 Volt batteries of maximum 73Ah. At daily use the dry
batteries need no other maintenance than regular charge. The capacity of the batteries at 5 hours
discharge is 70 Ah, at 20 hours discharge 75Ah. The scooter is equipped with 2 Trojan type SG 70 B
batteries. The battery connector type on the cable is Alex PVC, dimensions 40 x 20 mm.
Because the batteries are probably empty or partly charged when they arrive, it is of great importance
to first fully charge the batteries. The scooter is fitted with a charger, standard delivered. If the
batteries are charged using the below procedure, you will gain maximum lifetime, power and reach of
the batteries.
1. Turn off the power of your scooter
2. Put the power support cable in a wall socket
3. Put the battery charge cable into the tiller (turn away the round cover) (picture 40).
4. When the battery charger is turned on the scooter will be charged. During charge the progress
indicator will blink. A RED light means the charger is in use, a WHITE light means the scooter
is being charged and a GREEN light means the scooter is fully charged.
The Excite can not be driven electrically with a plug in the charge socket. If the range of the Excite is
strongly decreasing, the batteries need replacement. In this case you need to contact your dealer. It is
not allowed to replace the batteries yourself. When a battery is leaking contact dealer immediately!
Please consider the following when changing batteries: see that the connectors do not contact with
each other. Make sure when connecting the batteries the connectors are correctly poled (++ and --).
The Excite comes with a battery charger. If any problems occur please contact your dealer. It is not
allowed to open the charger. The charge socket is indicated with a symbol on the tiller (picture 40a).
The charger connection is indicated on the charger with a symbol (picture 40b):
