7.4.1 Battery charging state

Battery charge display:
The battery charger display on the
dashboard shows the battery charging state.
Full = maximum range
Medium = decreased driving range, charge
batteries after journey
Reserve = minimum driving range, end
journey as soon as possible,
charge batteries
Important information about reading the battery charge display:
• If the scooter is at standstill, it is often the case that the battery
charging state is shown higher than it actually is.
• The display can vary greatly while the vehicle is travelling (depending
on load).
• If the vehicle is under heavier loading (for example heavy
acceleration, driving up hills), the pointer can sometimes go to the red
area of the display. This is not critical and does not indicate the actual
charging state of the batteries.
• If the pointer has gone into the red area of the display after the
journey, it will often show green after the scooter has been turned off
for a long period.
This does not indicate the actual charging state of the batteries!
If the pointer is in the red area of the display at the end of the journey,
the batteries must be charged before continuing the journey.
Disregarding this can lead to destruction of the batteries!
Determining the actual charging state:
Drive at a constant speed for about 200 m along a straight level
route. The value shown by the display during the journey is the
actual battery charging state.
