Battery Care:
You should always try to keep your batteries fully charged, even when the scooter is in storage
for the winter. During winter storage, charge your batteries every 2 months to top them off.
The batteries are lead-acid type and they like to be kept fully charged. Even if you only drive a
few km’s you should plug in your scooter to keep the batteries fully charged.
During the cold months
– if your scooter is outdoors, you should cover the scooter with a
waterproof tarp, and use a heater to keep the scooter at room temperature. If your batteries are
left to sit in below-freezing temperatures, you could ruin the batteries. At the very least, the
batteries would be damaged resulting in less driving distance from diminished batteries.
If you don’t have a way to store your scooter in a warm place, we highly recommend that you
remove the batteries from the scooter and bring them indoors for the winter months. Visit our
website at
al videos found on the “Our
Scooters” page for safe / proper battery removal and re-installation.
If you take your batteries indoors for the winter, keep them in a warm, dry location and place
down a mat or cardboard under them, in case there is any leakage. Normally there would not be
any leakage, as they are sealed batteries.
We sell a convenient indoor charging kit which enables you to charge the batteries using your
battery charger
– when the batteries are removed. Charging kit is only $20.
Use extreme caution when working with batteries.
Serious shock or injury can occur if the
positive and negative terminal posts of any battery are touched together. Follow instructions
carefully when working with 12 volt batteries. Remember, the combined power of these 5
batteries is 60 volts
– and that is enough to cause injury or death, if not handled with care.
Feel free to consult with your Add Freedom Scooters Inc. representative at any time to get
proper instructions for handling of batteries or any other safety issues.
Disposing and Recycling Of Used Batteries
Batteries must always be recycled correctly. Do not dispose of them with your domestic refuge.
For further information please contact your local waste disposal authority. Most city-run waste
disposal outlets will let you dispose of the used batteries for free.
