About The Batteries - Drive Medical sport rider Owner's Handbook Manual

Attention
1. Always recharge the battery to its full capacity.
2. Only use the charger supplied with the scooter. You could damage the battery
and scooter if the incorrect charger is used. Do not disassemble or modify the
charger.
3. Charge in a well-ventilated space where it is not exposed to sunlight, humidity
or moisture.
4. Do not cover the scooter whilst charging.
5. Keep away from flammable objects while charging as this may lead to fire or
explosion.
6. Never connect or disconnect the plug or cord with wet hands or in wet
conditions as this could result in electric shock.
The scooter is immobilized whilst the charger is plugged in to the scooter.
Both the chargers red and orange lights will be illuminated during charging. The orange light will turn
green when charging completed. If only the red light is lit during charging then there is a problem
with the scooter and/or charger. In this instance contact the outlet from where the scooter was
purchased.
Warning
The charger light is lit orange the internal fan on the charger should operate. If the fan
has not started to operate after 2 minutes, unplug and remove the charger and contact
your dealer. Charging the battery with the fan operating can result in overheating and
fire.

5.2 ABOUT THE BATTERIES

•
Do not expose or charge the batteries in temperatures below -10ºC or above 50ºC. Extreme
temperatures can cause the battery to freeze, overheat, or shorten the battery lifespan.
•
The batteries are sealed and there is no need to monitor or replenish water levels.
•
The batteries do require charging on a regular basis, even if the scooter is not in use. The
batteries should be charged at least once a week, irrespective of use.
•
The batteries should be replaced when the battery range is about half the range of when the
batteries were new. Please contact dealer for more information about changing the batteries.
•
The batteries should be cleaned periodically, usually when the scooter is serviced. We
recommend this is done by your dealer who may charge a fee for this. If the battery terminals
are covered in water, battery acid, dust or other substances they will discharge quickly. Ensure
the scooter is switched off and the batteries are disconnected before cleaning. Use clean cloth
to wipe the soiled area. If the terminal is covered by a white powder, use a little warm water a
clean cloth.
Warning
Do not open the battery case, as this can cause damage or injury.
