BATTERIES & CHARGER
BATTERY
We recommend that you use deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance-
free for your power scooter. Both sealed lead-acid ( SLA) and gel cell are deep-
cycle batteries and are similar in performance. Deep-cycle batteries are speci-
fically designed to provide power, drain down, and then accept a relatively quick
recharge. Lead-acid batteries should be charged as often as possible.
Specification of the battery that we recommend:
Type:
Size:
Voltage:
Amp Hours:
Deep –cycle sealed lead-acid or gel cell
50AH or U-1
12V each
50-62 amp hours
Depending on the use, terrain and driving conditions, the batteries will provide a
range of 22 miles of travel. However, even if the power scooter is not in use, we
recommend that the batteries be charged periodically.
Note:
→
Do not use any automotive batteries. They are not designed to handle a long,
deep discharge and also are unsafe for use in power scooter.
→
The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.
CHARGER
The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage (alternating current )and
converts it into VDC (direct current).The batteries use direct current to run your
power scooter. When the batteries are fully charged, the amperage from the
charger is almost zero. This is how the charger maintains a charge but does not
overcharge the battery.
Note: The batteries can not be charged after they are discharged to nearly zero
voltage.
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
To recharge the batteries, follow the steps below:
→
Place your power scooter close to a standard electrical wall outlet.
→
Remove your key to turn the power OFF
→
Slide the charger port door open.(The direction of opening charger port door
is referred to on the printing on the plastic cover- See Fig 23 )
→
Plug the XLR connector of the charger to the charger port.(See Fig 24)
→
Plug the other end of power cord into a standard wall outlet.
