Batteries and Battery Chargers
Batteries
Charge the batteries completely (8-12 hours) prior to first use.
The ROMA Corella is supplied with a closed battery pack which contains two
12Amp, 12 Volt sealed lead acid batteries. The battery pack is situated under the
front of the seat and can be removed by lifting it away from the chassis.
Low temperatures, rough terrain and the weight of the user can affect battery
performance. Your battery gauge is a guide only to the level of charge remaining
in your batteries and will give its best indication while the scooter is moving.
Note: Batteries recommended by ROMA MUST be used if they need to
be replaced. An authorised ROMA dealer must carry out battery
replacement.
Battery Charger
The battery charger is a 1.8-amp switch type off board. The battery charging port
is located on the battery pack. This special feature allows the batteries to be
charged independently of the main scooter.
Before using your scooter for the first time be sure to fully charge the batteries,
this may take up to 12 hours.
To charge the batteries connect the 3-pin male charger plug into the charging
socket on the battery pack. Plug the 3-pin mains plug into a wall socket and
switch on. A constant red light will show when the battery charger is connected
and charging is underway (this will flash if there is a break in the connection). The
red light indicates that the batteries are receiving charge, this will change to solid
green when the charging cycle is complete
. Always turn off mains power to the
charger before disconnecting the plug from the battery box.
Caution! Do not charge the batteries for longer than 12 hours. Always
charge the batteries in a well-ventilated indoor area. You must still
maintain charging the batteries even if the scooter is not to be used
for a prolonged period of time (2 to 3 weeks). Failure to do so could
result in permanent damage and render the batteries unusable.
Wherever possible do not interrupt the charge cycle until the batteries
are fully charged. Continual interruption can permanently damage the
batteries. If the charging lead should get damaged discontinue use
immediately and seek a replacement from your dealer. ONLY USE THE
CHARGER SUPPLIED WITH YOUR SCOOTER. Do not leave the charger
plugged into to the charger port after the charge is complete.
ALWAYS remove the keys from the scooter when charging.
Disposing and recycling of used batteries
Batteries must always be recycled correctly. Do not dispose of them with your
domestic refuge.
For further information regarding your nearest recycling facility please contact
your local authority.
