& Suggestion
1. Do not disconnect the charger cord if charging is not completed. The battery life will
be seriously shortened or decayed if the battery is repeatedly used without being
fully charged. Therefore be sure to charge the battery fully every time.
2. Always complete the charging until the orange LED light turns green. NEVER stop
charging before it is complete.
3. When fully charged, the battery charger will still trickle charge the battery to ensure
optimum range.
4. If you do not use your scooter for a long time, it should be charged at least every
week to keep the battery in a fully usable condition.
5. Charging time will be affected by the ambient temperature. Charging time will be
longer in the winter.
6. After charging, do not leave the charger socket plugged in to the scooter, as this will
cause a power drain on the scooter and temporarily reduce its range.
7. The batteries carry a six-month manufacturer's warranty. This warranty only covers
issues relating to manufacturing faults, and not faults relating to failure to recharge
the batteries as instructed above.
8. Should range or power problems arise, please charge your scooter for 24 hours
continually and then retry the scooter.
F Attention: Please follow the rules below to avoid accidents while charging.
Please use the Drive charger only, and recharge the battery to its full capacity every
time. You may damage the battery and scooter if you use a charger which is not to the
correct specification.

Please charge in a well-ventilated space where it is not directly exposed to the
sunlight. Do not charge in surroundings where it is humid or under rainfall.
Do not charge in temperatures less than 14 F or higher than 120°F as the charger
may not work well and the batteries may become damaged.
N Warning

explosion of battery.
Do not smoke while charging as the battery may release hydrogen gas. Always charge
your battery in a well-ventilated space.
