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
recommended type and capacities.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
