Component Specific Information
Charger
GIO lead-acid-gel batteries as well as their respective chargers are purpose built for
GIO electric scooters, and are not interchangeable.
Use of any other chargers may result in serious damage to all components. The polarity,
as well as the input and output voltages of the charger supplied with your scooter at the
point of the original sale is of the correct rating and type, and this information should be
located on a label on the bottom of the charger.
Note: Unless the riding distance was very short, it is generally advisable to fully
recharge the battery after each ride. This will ensure the longest possible battery life,
because if the battery is left in a low state of charge for long periods of time the battery
life will be diminished.
To charge your scooter
After making sure that the master power key switch is off, connect the output plug from
the charger to the charging receptacle on the scooter. Then plug the charger into the
correct voltage power outlet and the light should turn red which would indicate that it is
charging. Once the battery is fully charged the light will turn green. It is normal for the
charger to get warm, and always be sure it is well ventilated, unobstructed and kept dry
at all times. To disconnect the charger, first remove the plug from the local power source
and then disconnect it from the scooter/battery.
The charger should turn to green once the battery is fully charged. If it does not do so
after 12 hours, it is likely some problem has developed. To avoid overcharging or other
damage, immediately unplug the charger and contact your local dealer.
When charging a battery separate from the scooter, always place the battery on a cool,
flat surface. Concrete floors are not recommended for lengthy periods, and never place
the battery on its side or upside down. Also, never put anything on top of the charger
when charging and keep it dry at all times.
Avoid dropping the battery or charger.
⚠
Never allow children to insert objects into the charger or plugs. There are high voltages
inside. Please keep the charger out of reach of children.
Never submerse the charger in liquids, or expose them directly to rain.
DO NOT leave the charger plugged and unattended for more than 12 hours. If you smell
burnt or have smoke coming out of the charger – disconnect it right away and contact
your local dealer.
