CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES WITH THE OFF-BOARD CHARGER
• Position your scooter close to a standard wall outlet.
• Open the clip on the battery case.
• Ensure the scooter is powered down.
• PIug the output connector of the off-board into the 3-pin charger power device.
• Plug the input connector of the off-board charger into the wall outlet.
• The red light on the charger turns on indicating it is charging.
• When charging is nearly finished, the green light turns on.
You should continue to charge the batteries for a short period of time.
• It is recommended that you charge your batteries for 10 to 12 hours.
• When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-board charger from the wall outlet and
then from the 3-pm charger power device.
• Put the charger with its cord into the rear bag of your scooter.
• The battery can also be charged off-scooter.
NEW BATTERY USAGE
To prepare new batteries for maximum efficiency, please follow the recommendations below:
• Fully recharge a new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level.
• Operate your scooter. Move slowly at first, and do not go too far until become accustomed to your scooter and known
how to control the driving distance from the battery condition indicator.
• Give the batteries another full charge of 10 to 12 hours and operate your scooter again.
The batteries will now perform at over 90% of their capacity.
• After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will reach 100% charge and last for an extended period.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
HOW DOES THE CHARGER WORK?
The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet AC voltage (alternating current) and converts it to 12V DC (direct current).
This scooter's batteries use direct current to run your scooter. When the battery voltage is low, the charger sends more current to the
batteries so that the charger becomes warm, which is normal. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger
is almost zero. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it does not overcharge the batteries. When your scooter's charger will not
operate after the batteries have been discharged to almost empty, call our authorized provider for assistance.
CAN A DIFFERENT BATTERY CHARGER BE USED?
You should use the off-board charger supplied with your scooter, as it is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries.
We do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g. an automotive battery charger).
HOW OFTEN MUST THE BATTERIES BE CHARGED?
You can charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your scooter, which prolongs the life of batteries.
INFREQUENT USE
If you use your scooter infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries for 10 to 12 hours at least once per week.
WARNING!
The battery should be stored on a clean, dry, flat and non-conductive surface,
otherwise the battery may be a fire hazard.
NOTE
Keep batteries dry and avoid discharging your batteries totally.
Do not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours per charging cycle.
