BATTERY & CHARGING INSTRUCTION
Lead-Acid Battery
We recommend that you use deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free for your
power scooter. Both sealed lead-acid (SLA) and gel cell are deep-cycle batteries and are similar in
performance. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down, and then
accept a relatively quick recharge. Lead-acid batteries should be charged as often as possible.

Depending on the use, terrain and driving conditions, the batteries will provide a range of 15 km of
travel. However, even if the power scooter is not in use, we recommend that the batteries are
charged periodically. Note: Do not use any automotive batteries. They are not designed to handle a
long, deep discharge and also are unsafe for use in power scooter. The useful life of a battery is quite
often a reflection of the care it receives.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries should be recycled or disposed of
as per state and local guidelines.
