OUR GUIDE TO SAFE AND
LASTING BATTERIES
1
For longest life, your batteries should be re-charged after
use
Preferably over night
2
If your
Scooter
is not used for a period of time, a
refreshing charge should be given every month
Never leave
your batteries in a discharged condition
This is particularly
important with sealed batteries as fitted to your
Scooter
If your batteries discharge below a total terminal voltage of
12 volts (6 volts per battery], the charger supplied with
your Scooter will not operate
Please consult your
Freerider
dealer
3
If your
Scooter
has been stored away for some time, re-
charge your batteries before re-using it
4
Every six months,
check the connections on the
batteries, making sure they are tight and clean, make certain
the red / black terminal covers are maintained
5
Batteries carry a limited guarantee from the original
manufacturer which is subject to a stringent wear and
tear clause. Any battery faults due to a defect in the
original manufacture will normally become obvious
within the first two months. Any gradual deterioration
in performance after this period is normally associated
with fair wear and tear, mis-use or accidental damage
and, as such, is not covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty. (This does not affect your statutory rights).
Note:
If one battery becomes faulty during the guarantee
period
only
that battery from the pair will be replaced
