FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage(alternating current) and converts it to 12V DC(direct
current). This scooter’s batteries use direct current to run your scooter. When the battery voltage is low, the
charger sends more current to the batteries so that the charger has a higher temperature, this is normal. When
the batteries are fully charged, the current sent to them is at nearly zero. Therefore when the charger is
Plugged in, it does not overcharge the batteries.
Important note! Your scooter’s charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero
voltage, call your provider or authorized dealer.
CAN A DIFFERENT CHARGER BE USED?
You should use the off-board charger supplied with your scooter. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the
batteries. We do not recommend using other types of chargers
(e.g. an automotive battery charger).
HOW OFTEN MUST THE BATTERIES BE CHARGED?
You can charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your scooter. This is for the benefit of prolonging
the life of the batteries.
Infrequent Use:
If you use your scooter infrequently(once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per
week for 10-12 hours.
HOW CAN I GET MAXIMUM RANGE PER CHARGE?
Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no
hills or curves. More often you are presented with hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces,
and curves. All of these factors will affect the running distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a
few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per charge.
• Always charge the batteries fully prior to your trip.
• Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines if possible.
• Limit baggage weight to essential items.
VII. BATTERY AND CHARGING
Note! Keep the batteries in a dry place and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Do
not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours at a charging cycle.

WHAT TYPE OF BATTERIES SHOULD I USE?
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed
and maintenance free. Both SLA and Gel-Cell are
deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance.
Refer to the following specifications to reorder deep-
cycle batteries.
Type Deep-cycle sealed lead-acid
Or gel cell
Size 6” x 3.9” x 3.75” (152 x 99 x 96mm)
Voltage 12 Volts each
Amperage 12AH(amp hours)
