Can other chargers be used?
To charge safely and efficiently, use the charger supplied by the original manufacturer only.
How often should you charge the battery?
The charge time depends on the use.
•
If you’re operating the scooter every
day, charge after each use so it will have a full charge
the next day.
•
If you’re operating the scooter once a week, then the battery should be charged once a
week. If at anytime the battery indicator has only red lights lit, charge the battery.
•
If you are not using the scooter for more than 3 weeks, remove battery from scooter, store
in a warm, dry location and charge every month. The time to charge the battery fully can
vary from 12 to 14 hours.
Do not let the battery fully discharge before charging.
How can you get the maximum operating distance?
Driving conditions such as hills, uneven and soft surface, temperature and user weight will affect
the distance or running time for battery life.
Methods of obtaining the maximum driving distance
•
Fully charge your battery before operating the TRANSFORMER.
•
Maintain a constant speed when possible.
•
Only carry the necessities to reduce weight.
•
Avoid intermittent driving.
Why is the power of the new battery weak?
Deep-cycle batteries use unique chemical technology and design. It can be charged quickly and
be used for a long time after full-charge. The battery is fully charged before leaving the factory
but may change its initial performance during the transportation due to the temperature. The
power of the battery will lessen in higher temperatures and it will extend the charging time in low
temperatures. The battery requires a few days to adapt to the surrounding environment before it
gets stable performance.
More importantly, a deep cycle battery will get higher performance after several charging
–
discharging cycles.
Please follow the steps below to improve the battery performance:
•
A new battery must be fully charged before using.
•
Low speeds are recommended for the first time. Do not travel too far until you are
familiar with the operation of the scooter and the battery.
•
Fully charge the battery after operating the TRANSFORMER the second time.
•
The battery capacity will reach 100% and extend the driving time after four to five charging
and discharging cycles.
