• The batteries need charging on a regular bases. Even if the scooter is stood idle, the batteries
should be charged at least once a week.
• The batteries carry a one-year manufacturers warranty. This warranty only covers manufacturing
defects, and not faults arising from failure to adhere to the operating and charging instructions.
Suggestion – How to Maximise your Batteries Efficiency and Service Life
1. Fully recharge your new battery before its first use.
2. Make sure you charge the battery fully every time. The battery longevity will be shortened
if it is repeatedly used without being fully charged. Always wait until the orange LED on
the charger turns green before switching off or disconnecting the charger.
3. When fully charged, the battery charger will still trickle charge the battery to ensure
optimum range.
4. Keep your batteries fully charged whenever possible.
5. If the scooter is stood idle, it should be charged at least every week to keep the battery in a
fully usable condition.
6. The ambient temperature will affect charging time. Charging time will be longer in winter
when it is cold.
7. 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.
8. It is recommended that the scooter is given an 18 hour charge at least once a week to allow
the charger to optimise the batteries.
9. Should you experience range or power problems, charge the scooter for 24 hours and then
retry the scooter.
