NOTE: To extend battery life, always turn off scooter and remove the key when not in use.

What type and size of battery should I use?

We recommend 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.

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

How do I change a battery in my scooter?

WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not mix or match new and old batteries. 

If you encounter a situation where one battery needs to be replaced, then replace both batteries. 

Refer to specifications table in this manual and the manual supplied with the battery charger for
