Battery Charging and Care
SUGGESTION
1. Do not disconnect the charger cord if charging is not completed. The battery life will
be seriously shortened if the batteries are repeatedly used without being fully charged.
Therefore be sure to charge the batteries fully every time.
2. Always complete the charging until the orange LED light turns green. NEVER stop
charging before it is complete.
3. Keep your batteries fully charged whenever possible.
4. 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.
5. The ambient temperature will affect charging time. Charging time will be longer in
the winter.
6. 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.
7. The batteries carry a six-month manufacturer's warranty. This warranty only covers
issues relating to manufacturing faults, and not faults relating to failure to recharge
the batteries as instructed above.
8. Fully recharge your new batteries before first time use.
ATTENTION:
Follow the rules below to avoid accidents while charging.
1. Use the 24V charger that comes with your scooter only, and recharge the batteries to
their full capacity every time (see page 18 for charging method). You may damage
the batteries and scooter if you use a charger which is not to the correct specification.
2. Never disassemble or modify the charger.
3. Charge in a well-ventilated space where the charger and the batteries contained in the
battery pack are not directly exposed to the sunlight. Do not charge in surroundings
where it is humid or wet.
4. Do not charge in temperatures less than -10°C (14°F) or higher than 50°C (122°F) as
the charger may not work well and the batteries may become damaged.
WARNING
1. Keep away from flammable objects while charging as this may cause fire or
explosion of the battery.
2. Do not smoke while charging as the batteries may release hydrogen gas. Always
charge your batteries in a well-ventilated space.
3. Never connect or disconnect the plug or cord with wet hands while charging. Do not
connect or disconnect the plug or cord when they are wet, this may cause an electric
shock.
