6.3 Battery pack/fuse

CAUTION
Hazards due to explosive gases. Smoking and open flames are prohibited while working on the
batteries. Sparks must be avoided.
Follow the battery manufacturer safety instructions. Wear protective goggles. Ensure sufficient venti-
lation when charging the batteries in an enclosed room.
Drive batteries can supply very large amounts of energy and may arc if they are short-circuited. The-
refore, always disconnect the batteries when working on the motor control or wiring.
NOTICE
Damage due to improper handling. In order to prevent short circuits, always use insulated tools
when working on the batteries.
Prevent deep discharge of the batteries in order to avoid loss of functionality and permanent battery
damage.
Ensure correct polarity when connecting the batteries and state of charge meter.

CAUTION
Risk of injury if the locking mechanism is not properly engaged. Check that the bolts are properly
engaged at both sides on the outside of the base support. The bolts must be clearly visible so that
the frame cannot unexpectedly disengage from the drive unit bracket.
The standard version of the Skippi is equipped with a 12V/28Ah (C5) AGM battery. The ad-
vantage of this battery is that it requires no servicing other than charging.
Make sure to have the contacts correctly snap in place when hanging in the battery packs.
The contacts are on the underside of the battery packs.
The battery packs of the Skippi can be removed easily. Undo the lock, hold the battery packs
by the handle and pull up to remove them.
