V. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
What type and size battery should I use?
Your scooter comes equipped with two 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.
Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium bat-
teries (nicads) 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.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your scooters specific electrical
demands. Fresh batteries arrive daily and are shipped fully charged with the scooter. During shipping, the batteries
may encounter temperature extremes that may influence their initial performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the
battery; cold slows the available power and extends the time needed to recharge the battery.
WARNING! If your scooter’s batteries become frozen, do not attempt to charge them. Cold
or frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.
It may take a few days for the temperature of your scooters batteries to stabilise and adjust to their new room or
ambient temperature. It takes a few charging cycles (partial draining followed by full recharging) to establish the
critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak performance and long life. Follow these
steps to properly break-in your scooters new batteries for maximum efficiency and service life.
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88% of
its peak performance level.
2. 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 scooters controls.
3. Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.
4. Operate your scooter again.
5. Fully recharge the batteries again.
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 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 scooters
batteries fully charged whenever possible. Protect your scooter and batteries from extreme heat or cold. Batteries
that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures or stored without a
full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.
What about public transport?
If you intend to use public transport with your scooter, you must contact the transportation dealer in advance to
determine their specific requirements.
