6. BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE
Suggestion – How to maximize your batteries efficiency and service life
1.
Fully recharge your new battery pack before its first time use.
2.
Be sure to charge the battery pack fully every time. The battery life will be
seriously shortened or decayed if the battery pack is repeatedly used without being
fully charged.
3.
Always complete the charging until the orange LED light turns green. NEVER
stop charging before it is complete.
4.
Keep your batteries fully charged whenever possible.
5.
If you do not use your scooter for a long time, it should be charged at least every
week to keep the battery in a fully usable condition.
6.
The ambient temperature will affect charging time. Charging time will be longer
in the winter.
7.
After charging, do not leave the charger socket plugged in to the scooter, as this
will cause a power drain on the scooter and temporarily reduce its range.
