Batteries and Charger
We recommend that you use deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and
maintenance free for your power scooter. Both are lead acid (SLA) and gel
cell are Deep cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Deep-cycle
batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down, and then
accept a relatively quick charge. Lead acid batteries should be charged as
often as possible.
Specification of the battery that we recommend:
Type:
Deep Cycle Sealed lead acid or gel cell
Size:
20 AH
Voltage:
12 V Each (5) total
Depending on the use, terrain and driving conditions, the batteries will
provide a range of 43 miles of travel. However, if the power scooter is not in
use we recommend that the batteries be charged monthly.
Note:
-
Do not use any automotive batteries, they are not designed to handle
a long, deep discharge and are unsafe for use in power scooter.
-
The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it
receives.
-
Always charge your batteries in well ventilated areas.
-
The charger is intended for indoor use only.
-
For maximum performance, it is recommended that you replace all
(5) batteries at the same time if the batteries are weak.

batteries recharged at least once every month to avoid deterioration.
Recharge the Batteries only when the key is in off position and when the
indicator is showing low status. This confirms batteries needs to be
recharged.
