I have followed both instructions for charging the So Lite S1 scooter (my dad's scooter), and while the indicator light on the charger is green, the light on the scooter's battery indicator only goes to the yellow and the scooter beeps loudly and repeatedly. I was trying to get a picture of the battery indicator on the scooter, but I can't catch it in the yellow. The battery indicator on the scooter does not light green. I'm trying to figure out how to get his scooter charged and working for him again.

If the battery indicator only shows yellow (orange) and does not turn green after charging, it means the battery is still charging or not fully charged. You should:
1. Ensure the charger is connected properly. 2. Allow more time for charging. 3. Check for a defective battery or charger if the indicator does not turn green after extended charging. 4. Confirm the charger output is 24V, 2A max (1.8A). 5. If the issue persists, contact your scooter dealer.
