Safety Precautions for Lead Acid Batteries
Danger!! Failure to follow these precautions may result in serious risk.

Read through the charger operating instruction before using it.

If you use your scooter every day, please charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your
scooter will be ready each morning.

Avoid deeply discharging your scooter's batteries.

Charge the battery at least 24 hours a week if the power chair or scooter has not been used.
(This is to make sure that the electrolyte is always at the top level)

If the battery cannot be charged (Orange light cannot turn to Green) or if the Orange light turns to Green
immediately, please check it with the technicians. The battery may be defective.

The voltage difference between the two batteries on a power unit cannot be more than 0.5 V; the battery
case should be inspected for cleanliness and evidence of damage.

If the charger indicates red light, please kindly check if the charger is defected or if the cable wiring
connection is poor.
Please keep the battery  and ⊕ connectors clean otherwise the charging condition will be poor.

 When installing batteries, please do not use sealed containers. Use of sealed containers may cause explosions, fires,
injury, or equipment damage.
Do not place batteries in enclosed environments or near open flames. Batteries may produce hydrogen which can

cause explosions or fires.
 Do not use metal wires to connect batteries and prevent tools from making short circuit between batteries terminals.
This can cause fire or cause the battery to leak acid, overheat, or explode.
 Do not transport or store batteries together with tools or metal wire. This can cause fire or cause the battery to leak
acid, overheat, or explode.
 Charge batteries using specified chargers or as directed by the manufacturer. Charging batteries by any other methods
can lead to overheating, excessive hydrogen leaks, acid leaks, or explosions.
 Pliers, torque wrenches and other metal tools should be insulated with PVC tape before use. Failure to do so could
cause short circuits which could lead to sparking or high temperature which could cause fire, damage or explosions of
the battery.
 Ensure that short circuits is not formed between the positive and negative terminals. Short circuits may lead to leaks,
fires, or explosions.
 Do not use these batteries together with different type of the batteries such as Ni-MH or Ni-Cd and so on. It could lead
to leaks, overheating, or explosions of the batteries, and human injury.
 If the battery catches on fire, please use dry powder fire extinguisher or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. Do not use
water to fire fighting.
 Do not expose batteries to heat or flames. This can cause leakage, fire, or explosion of the batteries.
 Do not dismantle, modify, or damage batteries. This can cause leakage, fire, or explosion of batteries.
 Replace batteries within the period recommended in battery user manual or indicated on the equipment. Overuse may
