HOW TO EXTEND BATTERY LIFE
Make the most of each charge!
Travel as far as possible to use as much of the charge as you can
before recharging. The battery will “learn” to charge fully instead of
getting used to smaller charges.
Don’t stay uncharged for too long!
Lead-acid batteries require a constant fl ow of chemicals inside the
cells. If the battery stays uncharged for a long time (more than
two weeks), this fl ow may be restricted the next time you charge.
Charging the battery every few weeks can prevent this, even if you
are not riding your scooter (especially during the winter!).
Charge Up Completely!
When the battery is charging, the charger will have one green and
one red light. When the battery is fully charged, both lights on the
charger will be GREEN. When you need to charge the battery, let it
charge fully. This will “remind” the battery of its total capacity.
