Follow these steps to properly break in your scooter’s new batteries for maximum effi ciency and service life:
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88%
of its peak performance level.
2. Operate your new scooter in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at fi rst, and do not travel too far from
your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your scooter’s controls and have
properly broken in your scooter’s batteries.
3. Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.
4. Operate your scooter again, then fully recharge the batteries again.
5. After four or fi ve charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance
level and are able to last for an extended period of time.
What about public transportation?
AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in scooters and other mobility vehicles. These batteries
are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved (United States only), allowing safe transportation on aircraft,
buses, and trains, as there is no danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the carrier’s ticket counter
in advance to determine that carrier’s specifi c requirements.
