How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your
s
cooter’s batteries fully charged. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged,
or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited
life. Such damage is not covered by warranty.
How should I store my Scooter and its batteries?
If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:
■
Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
■
Disconnect the battery harnesses from the electronic controller module.
■
Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment.
■
Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING!
If your scooter’s batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them.
Cold or frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise the
scooter off of the ground. This takes the weight off the tyres and prevents the possibility of flat spots
developing.
What about public transportation?
If you intend to use public transportation while using your scooter, you must contact in advance the
transportation provider to determine their specific requirements.
