3. Fully recharge the batteries. This recharge should bring the batteries up to about 90% of their peak performance
level.
4. Operate your Scooter again.
5. Fully recharge the batteries again.
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak
performance level and are able to last for an extended period of time.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery service life. Keep
your batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or
stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged and cause unreliable performance and limited
service life.
How should I store my Celebrity XL and its batteries?
If you plan on not using your Scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:
n Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
n Disconnect the battery harnesses from the electronic controller module.
n Store your Scooter in a warm, dry environment.
n Avoid storing your Scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
CAUTION! If your Celebrity XL’s batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them. Cold or
frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Scooter to raise it off
the ground and take the weight off the tyres. This reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas
of the tyres contacting the ground.
