 Warning  

1.

 

The  wiring  system  and  charger  are  placed  correctly  in  the  battery  pack  during 
assembly  by  the  manufacturer.    Do  not  attempt  to  re-locate  the  wiring  system  by 
yourself.    The  improper  layout  of  the  wiring  system  may  result  in  the  wires  being 
pinched by the battery box, which could result in an electronic system failure. 

2.

 

Be sure the battery wires are connected to their correct battery terminal.

 

 Suggestions  

1.

 

Make sure the terminals are installed properly and replace the cover. 

2.

 

Do not use the battery to charge telecom equipment or other items. 

3.

 

Battery  efficiency  will  vary  with  outside  conditions;  the  driving  distances  will  be 
shorter  in  the  winter.    If  the  vehicle  is  not  used  for  a  long  time,  please  charge  the 
battery at least every week. 

4.

 

Replace both batteries together.

 

 
 
 

If  necessary,  ask  for  help  from  CareCo  for  advice  about  maintaining  and  replacing  the 
batteries on 0845 611 8022 or email: [email protected]
