Batteries and Charger
We recommend that you use deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and
maintenance free for your power scooter. Both are lead acid (SLA) and gel
cell are Deep cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Deep-cycle
batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down, and then
accept a relatively quick charge. Lead acid batteries should be charged as
often as possible.
Specification of the battery that we recommend:
Type: Deep Cycle Sealed lead acid or gel ell
Size:
20 AH
Voltage:
12 V Each (4) totals
Amp Hours: 80 Amp Hours
Depending on the use, terrain and driving conditions, the batteries will
provide a range of 32 miles of travel. However, even if the power scooter is
not in use we recommend that the batteries be charged periodically.
Note:
-
Do not use any automotive batteries, they are not designed to handle
a long, deep discharge and are unsafe for use in power scooter.
-
The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it
receives.
-
Always charge your batteries in well ventilated areas
-
The charger is intended for indoor use only.
-
For maximum performance, it is recommended that you replace both
batteries at the same time if the batteries are weak.
-

have batteries recharged at least once every month to avoid
deterioration of the batteries.
