• Do not leave the batteries in a low state of charge
for an extended length of time. Charge a discharged
battery as soon as possible.
• In case your mobility device is not used for a longer
period of time (that is more than two weeks), the
batteries must be charged at least once a month to
maintain a full charge and always be charged before
use.
• Avoid hot and cold extremes when storing. We
recommend to store batteries at a temperature of 15
°C.
• Gel and AGM batteries are maintenance-free. Any
performance issues should be handled by a properly
trained mobility device technician.

CAUTION!
Risk of damaging the batteries.
– Avoid ultra-deep discharges and never drain
your batteries completely.
• Pay attention to the Battery Charge Indicator! Charge
the batteries when the Battery Charge Indicator shows
that battery charge is low.
How fast the batteries discharge depends on many
circumstances, such as ambient temperature, condition
of the surface of the road, tyre pressure, weight of the
driver, way of driving and utilisation of lighting.
• Try to charge the batteries always before you reach the
red LED range.
The last 2 LED (one red and one orange) mean a
remaining capacity of 20 — 30 %.
