With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your scooter’s

batteries. The battery charger is designed so that it will not overcharge your scooter’s batteries. However, you

may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge them on

a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and charging.

n If you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your scooter will be

ready each morning to give you a full day of service. We recommend that you charge your scooter’s batteries

for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.

n If you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a time.

n Keep your scooter’s batteries fully charged.

n Avoid deeply discharging your scooter’s batteries.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?

Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your scooter’s

batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or

stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.

How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?

Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions—smooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. Often, you will

face hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of which affect the distance or

running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge.

n Always fully charge your scooter’s batteries prior to daily use.

n Maintain 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) in each tyre.

n Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.

n Limit your baggage weight to essential items.

n Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion.

n Avoid stop-and-go driving.

What type and size of battery should I use?

We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel Cell are deep-cycle

batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.

WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell

batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.

NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.
