READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition LED on the control console assembly indicates the approximate strength of your batteries
using a color coded LED. See figure 11. Green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red
indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. To check the charge, you must first unplug the charger power
lead and power up your Sport Scooter.
You can also check the charge by the ammeter, located on the electronics module. The charger power lead must
be plugged into a standard wall outlet in order to obtain a reading. When the amperage reading is at or near zero
amps, charging is complete. See figure 12.
