BATTERIES & CHARGER
BATTERY
We recommend that you use deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance
free for your power scooter. Both sealed lead-acid (SLA) and gel cell are deep-
cycle batteries and are similar in performance. Deep-cycle batteries are speci-
fically designed to provide power, drain down, and then accept a relatively quick
recharge. Lead-acid batteries should be charged as often as possible.
Specification of the battery that we recommend: for PF2 is
Type:
Size:
Voltage:
Amp Hours:
Depending on the use, terrain and driving conditions, the batteries will provide a
range of 22 miles of travel. However, even if the power scooter is not in use, we
recommend that the batteries are charged periodically.
Note:
Do not use any automotive batteries. They are not designed to handle a long,
deep discharge and also are unsafe for use in power scooter.
The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.
CHARGER
The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage (alternating current )and
converts it into VDC (direct current).The batteries use direct current to run your
power scooter. When the batteries are fully charged, the amperage from the
charger is almost at zero. This is how the charger maintains a charge but does not
overcharge the battery.
Note: The batteries cannot be charged if they were discharged to nearly zero
voltage.
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
To recharge the batteries, follow the steps below:
Place your power scooter close to a standard electrical wall outlet.
Remove your key to turn the power OFF
Slide the charger port door open.(The direction of opening charger port door
is referred to on the printing on the plastic cover- See Fig 23)
