Replacing Batteries - CareCo ECLIPSE Owner's Manual

 Suggestion – How to maximise the batteries' efficiency and service life
1. Fully recharge your new batteries before their first time use.
2. Be sure to charge the batteries fully every time. The life of the batteries will be
shortened if the batteries are repeatedly used without being fully charged.
3. Always complete the charging until the orange LED light turns green. NEVER stop
charging before it is complete.
4. Keep your batteries fully charged whenever possible.
5. If you do not use your scooter for a long time, charge the batteries once a week to
keep them in a fully usable condition.
6. The ambient temperature will affect charging time. Charging time will be longer in
the winter.
7. After charging, do not leave the charger socket plugged into the scooter, as this will
cause a power drain and temporarily reduce the scooter's range.
■ Cleaning the batteries
If the batteries are contaminated by water, battery acid, dust or other substances, they will
discharge quickly. The batteries supplied with the scooter are sealed and as such are
maintenance free with no risk of leakage. Please follow the steps below to clean the
batteries:-
1. Turn the scooter power switch to 'OFF'.
2. Follow the procedure in the next section 'Replacing the Batteries'.
3. Use a clean cloth to wipe the soiled area.
4. Take out the batteries.
5. Clean the batteries with a clean cloth. If the terminal is covered by white powder, please
wipe clean using warm water.
