Battery Replacement; Removing The Batteries; Cleaning The Battery - Drive Medical Envoy Owner's Handbook Manual

6. The batteries should not be charged for more
than 24 hours.
7. The batteries are sealed, and so do not need
topping up with water.
8. The batteries should be checked periodically
for cleanliness. Please refer to the section later
in the handbook.

Battery Replacement

It is natural for the battery capacity to reduce with
time, even if the battery is charged as directed above.
When the battery range is about half of its peak
performance we recommend that the batteries are
changed. Continuing to use an old battery will result in
a rapid reduction in the range of the scooter and can
cause excessive wear and tear on other parts of the
scooter. It is recommended that batteries are replaced
in pairs, and that these are fitted by your dealer.

Removing the Batteries

1. Switch off the scooter at the ignition and
remove the seat.
2. Lift up the battery cover (A)
3. Disconnect the black battery connectors (B)
and red battery connectors.
4. Remove the velcro straps (C) from the
battery and pull the battery out.

dust or other substances, they will discharge quickly.

as such are maintenance free with no risk of battery
leakage. Please follow the steps below to clean the

1. Remove the batteries following the procedure

terminal is covered by white powder, wipe it
cleaning using warm water.
