Following the five guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery
operation and charging:
If you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish
using it for the day. Your scooter will be ready each morning to give you a
“full day” of service. We recommend that you charge your scooter’s
batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
If you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least
once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a time.
Keep your scooter’s batteries fully charged.
Avoid deeply discharging your scooter’s batteries.
Do not charge your scooter’s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions-smooth, flat, hard driving surfaces
with no wind or curves. You will often face hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and
loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind. All of these driving conditions affect
the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for
obtaining the maximum range per battery charge.
Always fully charge your scooter’s batteries prior to your daily use.
Maintain proper pressure in all of your scooter’s tires (pneumatic tires only)
Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft
surfaces as possible.
Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion.
Avoid stop-and-go driving.
What type and size of battery should I use?
We recommend deep cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both
sealed lead-acid and gel cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in
performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.
CAUTION! Do not remove the caps from sealed batteries. Water cannot be
added to sealed batteries. Cap removal may cause damage to the batteries
and to your scooter.
Use these specifications to reorder deep-cycle batteries:
Type: Deep-cycle (sealed lead-acid or gel cell)
Size: U-1, 32AH
Voltage: 12 volts each
Amperage: 32 AH (amp hours)
