CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Your Ewheels Medical scooter is equipped with two sealed, maintanence free 12V. 12Ah.
rechargeable batteries and one EW-M35 24V/1.8A charger. Batteries must be charged
before using scooter for first time and should be recharged after each day's use. Be sure
power switch is in OFF position and free-wheeling lever is not in freewheel mode.
For safety reasons, only sealed non-spillable batteries that meet DOT CFR 173.159(d),
IATA Packing Instructions, and IATA Provision A67 shall be installed in the scooters. If
you need new batteries, contact your dealer. Only 12V. 12Ah Valve-regulated Lead Acid
batteries should be used.

on battery pack.
2.Plug other end of power cable into a standard electrical
wall outlet.
3.The charging indicator (M) will normally be red or yellow
at this point.
4.Allow batteries to charge until charging indicator turns
green.
5.After indicator turns green, unplug battery charger from
scooter and wall outlet.
6.If at any time battery charger light flashes green over 40 minutes, this indicates abnormal

Keep in mind these rules
:
•
Fully charge batteries at least once a month, or more if you use scooter regularly.
Charge after each trip exceeding 3 kilometers.
•
If storing your scooter for some time (1 month or more), make sure that batteries are
fully charged, and on returning, charge them again before using scooter.
•
Batteries will only give maximum performance after scooter has been used, and batteries
have been recharged up to 10 times. A bit like breaking in a new car.
Please be aware that the travelling range of your mobility scooter is impacted by how fast the batteries
are discharged. This will depend on many circumstances, such as ambient temperature, condition of the
surface of the road, tyre pressure, weight of the driver, driving environment (inclines etc.) and utilisation
of your lighting system if fitted. We recommend that you test your local ride with a family member to
ensure a safe journey.
