6.2 CHARGER

The charger supplied with the Prism has an LED which changes colour depending on its status:
• If the LED is lit ORANGE then the charger is switched on and charging
• If the LED is lit GREEN then the charger is switched on and has finished the bulk of its charging and
the batteries can be used. However, we recommend that you leave the charger charging for a couple
of hours after the green LED has lit. This will maintain and probably increase the capacity of your
batteries.
• The LED will also illuminate GREEN if the charger is switched on but not connected to the batteries.
Warning
If the charger LED does not illuminate then the charger is faulty.
In this event please contact your dealer.

6.3 BATTERY

♦ Do not expose the battery to temperatures below - 10 ° C or above 50 ° C when charging or storing the
vehicle. Being out of the above temperature range can cause the battery either to freeze or over heat. This
will damage the batteries and shorten their life.
♦ These batteries are maintenance free and there is no need to inspect the battery liquid or refill with water.
♦ You are required to recharge the batteries on a regular basis. Even if the scooter is stood idle, you should
charge the batteries at least once a week.
Warning
Do not open the battery-sealed cap at any time.
Batteries
The Prism is powered by 12V 12ah batteries.
They are sealed lead acid type, and are maintenance free and non-spillable.
They are supplied with spade terminals.
The batteries supplied as standard with Prism are classified as safe to transport under IATA special
provision A67.
Warning
Do not remove the battery pack whilst the scooter is switched (ON). This will cause the scooter
to stop and may damage the scooter. If, whilst the scooter is switched on, the battery pack is
accidentally removed or loses contact as the result of jolt, switch the scooter (OFF). Then reinsert
the battery pack and switch the scooter (ON).
