iv. Battery and charging

Your scooter is equipped with two sealed, maintenance free 17 Ah batteries.

◆ Charge the batteries prior to using your scooter for the first time.

◆ Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.

Reading your battery volume

The battery volume meter on the tiller console uses a color code to indicate the condition of your batteries. Green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharging is necessary.

Charging Your batteries
Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:

① Position your scooters close to a standard wall outlet .

② Remove the key from the key switch.

③ Plug the 3-pin charger cord into the battery receptacle.

④ Plug the charger input into the wall outlet to charge. It is recommended that you charge your batteries for 8 to 14 hours.

⑤ When fully charged, unplug the charger input cord form the wall outlet first and then unplug the charger output cord from the battery receptacle.

Charger (red)

Charging is in progress

Power(green)

Charger (green)

Charger is plugged in batteries fully charged

Power(red)

Charger (off)

Error: short circuit, lead reversed, battery disconnected

If the LED toggle between red and green:

The battery has dropped too low and needs normal charging, therefore the charger

Automatically pulse charges the batteries to an acceptable level. Once that level is reached it will charge normally.

Frequently asked questions

How does the charger work?

When your scooter’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the battery to bring up their charge. When the voltage approaches full level, the charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charging on your scooter’s batteries, but will not overcharge them. But we do not recommend that you charge your scooter for more than 24 consecutive hours.

What if my scooter’s batteries won’t charge?

◆Ensure that both ends of the charger cord are inserted fully.

How often must I charge the batteries?

It depends on how often you use it:

◆ If you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries everyday. Your scooter will be ready each morning to give you a full day of service.

◆ 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.

◆Keep your scooter’s batteries fully charged.

◆ Avoid deeply discharging your scooter’s batteries.

What type and size battery should I use?

Your scooter is equipped with two deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Use only the battery model specially for this scooter supplied by the manufacturer or authorized dealer.

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

Why do my new batteries seem weak?

New batteries will not delivery their full capabilities until they have been discharged and recharged about 5 times.

Follow these steps to properly break-in your scooter’s new batteries for maximum efficiency and service life.

⑴ Fully recharges any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88% of its peak performance level.

⑵ Operate your new scooter in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your scooter’s controls.

⑶ Fully recharge the battery again.

⑹ After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive 100% of their peak performance level and are able to last for an extended period of time.

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.

Replacing your scooter’s batteries

Battery replacement

1. Remove battery pack from the scooter by releasing the battery pack lock, grasping the handle, and lifting up.

2. Remove all screws that hold the battery pack.

3. Remove the connectors and replace the used battery with the new one.

V. Operation

Before getting onto your scooter

◆ Have you fully charged the batteries? See IV. “Batteries and charging”

◆ Ensure that the manual freewheel lever in the open (power driven) position? Never leave the manual freewheel lever pushed close position unless you are manually pushing your scooter.
