again. The batteries will now perform to over 90% of their
full potential.
4. After ten to fifteen charging cycles, the batteries will top
off at 100% charge and last for an extended period due to
your patience and care in the first few days of operation.
Rarely do we have an ideal driving situation such as a smooth,
flat, hard terrain with no wind or curves and warm
temperatures. More often, we are presented with hills,
uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, wind, cold and
heavy loads. All of these factors will affect the distance or
running time per battery charge.
Here are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range
per charge:
1. Always charge your batteries fully prior to your trip.
It is a good idea to keep your Charger connected when
the Charge Complete' (green) light is illuminated in the
'Top-Up' maintance mode.
2. Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines, kerbs and
soft surfaces.
3. Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
4. Try to maintain an even speed to avoid stop and start
driving.
5. Ensure recommended routine servicing of the vehicle's
components, i.e. motors, brakes, electrical connections
etc., is carried out as instructed in this Users Instruction
Manual.
When working or disposing of your batteries
1.Do not allow metal objects to short out the terminals,
your battery could explode causing you injury.
2. Do not allow your batteries to freeze. If frozen allow
them to naturally thaw out before charging, failure to
observe this warning may damage the batteries.
3. If you need to replace your batteries, contact your Luggie
Agent. Only batteries supplied as original equipment on
your machine will give you the best performance. When
charging batteries make certain the positive and negative
terminals are correctly assembled. Failure to observe
this warning may cause an explosion, short circuit or fire.
4. Always handle batteries carefully, they are heavy.
Wear protective gloves and glasses when handling.
5. Dispose of worn out batteries carefully, contact your local
waste disposal authority.

whenever possible. Handling your batteries Extra care must
be taken when handling batteries, if you decide to fold your
vehicle for transportation etc. Dropped batteries, even from
a very small height, can lead to damage of the internal
components, causing premature cell failure.
Your batteries are sealed and do not require maintenance.
Do not force open the valves in the battery top.
Used batteries must not be disposed of by
means of a domestic refuse disposal unit (dustbin) etc.
Please contact your Dealer to dispose of used batteries.
Please note, he may charge for this service.
The batteries fitted to your vehicle are guaranteed against a
manufacturing or material defect for 6 months. Any battery
faults due to a defect in manufacture or materials will be
obvious within a few weeks of use. Your batteries are not
guaranteed to perform to full capacity for 6 months. This will,
of course be dependent on the actual use of the vehicle
and how often the batteries are cycled i.e. discharged and
charged. Gradual deterioration in performance and reduction
in range is normal and associated with fair wear-and-tear,
misuse or accidental damage. Under these circumstances,
the warranty will not apply. It is a fact that some users due to
their hectic lifestyle, weight or operating conditions, may
wear their batteries out during the original battery
manufacturer's guarantee period due to extensive use of
their Scooter. This is termed 'Cycle Life'. Batteries have a
defined number of discharge cycles they can make i.e. the
more times you use your Scooter the more cycles your
battery will make- the shorter their life span.If you take
time to run-in your batteries properly, it will be worth it.
Remember: how long your batteries will provide service is
quite often a reflection of the care they receive. This is
how to run-in your new batteries:
1. Fully recharge any new batteries prior to your initial use.
This will bring your battery up to about 88% performance.
2. Ride your vehicle around the house or garden. Do
not venture too far away until you become accustomed
to the controls and feel of the vehicle. This will gently
run-in your batteries.
3. Give your batteries another full charge and run the vehicle
