Rally
It may take a few days for the temperature of your Rallys batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room
or ambient temperature. More importantly, it will take a few charging cycles (a partial drain followed by a
full recharge) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle batterys peak
performance and long life.
Follow these steps to break in your Rallys new batteries for maximum efficiency and 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 Rally in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from
your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your Rallys controls and
have properly broken in the batteries.
3. Fully recharge the batteries; they should be at about 90% of their peak performance level.
4. Operate your Rally again.
5. Fully recharge the batteries again.
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak
performance level and will last for an extended period of time.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your
Rallys batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged,
infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable
performance and limited life.
How should I store my Rally and its batteries?
If you plan on not using your Rally for an extended period of time, it is best to:
n Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
n Disconnect the battery harnesses from the electronic controller assembly.
n Store your Rally in a warm, dry environment.
V. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
n Avoid storing your Rally where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
CAUTION! If your Rallys batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them. Cold or
frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Rally to raise your
Scooter off of the ground. This takes the weight off of the tyres and prevents the possibility of flat spots
developing on the areas of the tyres that contact the ground.
What about public transportation?
If you intend to use public transportation while using your Scooter, you must contact in advance the
transportation provider to determine their specific requirements.
