Page 13: Battery And Charging
VII. BATTERY AND CHARGING Your scooter uses two long lasting, 12-volt deep cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable. - Page 14 VII. BATTERY AND CHARGING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) QUESTION: Why is my charger warm? ANSWER: The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage(alternating current) and converts it to 12V DC(direct current). This scooter’s batteries use direct current to run your scooter. When the battery voltage is low, the charger sends more current to the batteries so that the charger has a higher temperature, this is normal.

Page 15: Vii. Battery And Charging
VII. BATTERY AND CHARGING Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium, or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. AGM and gel-cell batteries should be charged as often as possible. -
Page 16: Care And Maintenance
VIII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your scooter, like any motorized vehicle requires a routine maintenance check. Preventative maintenance is very important. You can perform some of these regular checks by yourself. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your scooter gives you years of trouble-free operation. -

Page 24: Troubleshooting
XI. TROUBLESHOOTING Any electromechanical device may require some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge. -
