Batteries and Charger

We recommend that you use deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and
maintenance free for your power scooter. Lead acid (SLA) and gel cell are Deep
cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Deep-cycle batteries are
specifically designed to provide power, drain down, and then accept a relatively
quick charge. Lead acid batteries should be charged as often as possible.
Specification of the battery that we recommend:
Type: Deep Cycle Sealed lead acid or gel cell
Size: 20 AH
Voltage: 12 V Each (4) totals
Amp Hours: 80 Amp Hours
Depending on the use, terrain and driving conditions, the batteries will provide
a range of 43 miles of travel. However, even if the power scooter is not in use
we recommend that the batteries be charged periodically.
Note:
- Do not use any automotive batteries, they are not designed to handle a
long, deep discharge and are unsafe for use in power scooter.
- The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it
receives.

batteries at the same time if the batteries are weak.

batteries recharged at least once every month to avoid deterioration of
the batteries.
