V. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your scooters specific electrical
demands. During shipping, the batteries may encounter temperature extremes that may influence their initial
performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the battery; cold slows the available power and extends the time
needed to recharge the battery. It may take a few days for the temperature of your scooters batteries to stabilise
and adjust to their new room or ambient temperature.
It takes a few charging cycles (partial draining followed by full recharging) to establish the critical chemical balance
that is essential to a deep-cycle batterys peak performance and long life.
What about public transport?
If you intend to use public transport with your scooter, you must contact the transportation dealer in advance to
determine their specific requirements.
