Battery Indicator
♦ The battery indicator on the tiller console uses
a color code to indicate the approximate power
remaining of you batteries. Green indicates (40
～100%) capacity, yellow a draining charge(10
～30%),and red indicates that an immediate
recharge is necessary.
♦ The remaining range suggested by the battery
indicator will vary by the actual driving time
incurred and how you drive. Repeated starting,
stopping, climbing will consume the power
more quickly.
& Suggestion
1. You should recharge the batteries after each time the vehicle is used to ensure
maximum range. The batteries should be charged up at least once a week even if the
scooter is not used.
2. After charging or replacing a new battery, drive the vehicle for 2-3 minutes to make
sure the battery capacity is sufficient.
3. In wintertime, the battery may respond more slowly and the battery range may be
reduced.
4. When driving on a gradient, the battery indicator light might move up and down. This
is a normal phenomenon so please do not worry.
5. Even if the battery is used properly, it is natural for the battery's capacity to reduce
with time, which results in reduced battery range compared to a brand new battery.
Therefore, when you find the battery's range is about only 50% of the range when the
batteries were new, it is time to replace the batteries. Please see your dealer about
replacement batteries. If you continue to use the old battery when it should be
replaced, it could lead to a rapid decline in performance.
6. The battery range will be reduced when driving frequently on a slope or rough terrain,
as this leads to greater consumption of power.
7. The batteries have a six-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. This
warranty does not cover faults due to incorrect battery recharging.
