Battery Charging - PEUGEOT Scoot'elec User Manual

Battery charging

Connect the charge lead plug (located under the seat) to a 230V - 10A/16A mains socket with earth and
protected by differential circuit breaker of 30 mA.
The charge light
As soon as maximum capacity is reached, charging is stopped automatically and the light
Make sure the lead is replaced under the seat before using the vehicle.
The use of an extension lead is not advised. If you have no other option, make sure a "STANDARDISED"
extension lead is used, i.e., a lead which can withstand at least 10 Amps and has an earth wire.
As the charge is controlled both in terms of time and temperature by the electronic control unit, it is not
advised to use a programmer.
Duration of complete charge (battery empty) approximately 5h.
Note:
If the temperature of the battery is high, charging will only begin after an automatically controlled cooling
period (resulting in charging time being increased by the same amount). The H warning light
flash on and off until charging is started automatically.
During charging, it is normal to witness a rise in temperature at the rear of the vehicle caused by the
cooling fan. Do not obstruct the air outlet underneath the red light (no cover, no cagoule to dry....).
Charging can be carried out at all times whatever is shown on the energy gauge or on the battery charge
warning light (lit, off, flashing).
Nevertheless, you are advised to carry out a full charge as regularly as possible (until the warning light
goes out).
If the vehicle is not used for more than a week, several "charging and discharging" cycles may be
necessary for the full capacity of the battery to be reached.
Once the charge is complete, the lead can remain connected up to the next time it is used.
Rapid charge option
A specific external charger is necessary in order to carry out this type of charge.
The time saved compared to a normal charge is 50%.
A PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES dealer is at your disposal for fitting a special socket on your scooter and to
supply you with this optional charger.
In this case, your charging location must be equipped with two 230V 10A/16A sockets.
Warning
− During charging, it is prohibited to carry out any work on the vehicle.
In particular: no washing, no dismantling, no movement (nor taking off stand).
− charging must be carried out in a well ventilated room and away from flames or sparks due to a
small amount of hydrogen being released.
In particular : do not carry out charging in a boiler room or near to an electric switch.
If liquid appears under the vehicle after charging, dilute with water and wipe away wearing compulsory
rubber gloves. Inform your PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES dealer.
