6. BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE
6.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY
Follow the procedure below step by step:
1. Turn off the scooter at the ignition
2. Connect the charger to the mains plug socket
3. Open the charging socket cap on the left hand side of
the scooter tiller. Then insert the 3-pin round plug in
to the charging socket on the scooter tiller.
4. Switch on the mains to power the charger.
5. An LED will illuminate on the charger to indicate it is
connected to mains power. Another LED will also
light to indicate the charge status of the batteries. The
charge status of the batteries is described by the
diagram on the right.
6. The unit should be left on charge for at least 16 hours
or until the charger shows charge complete. We do
not recommend that the batteries are charged for
longer than 24 hours.
7. After charging is complete, switch off the mains at
the plug socket and remove the charger from the
scooter and the mains. Leaving the charger switched
off but connected can drain the batteries.

Suggestion
1. Do not disconnect the charger if charging is not complete. Battery life and performance will be
dramatically reduced if the battery is repeatedly used without being fully charged.
2. Always charge the batteries until the Charge Complete LED is lit.
3. When fully charged, the battery charger will still trickle charge the battery to ensure optimum
battery range and performance.
4. If you scooter is stood idle, you should still charge it every week to maintain battery performance.
5. Charging time will be affected by the ambient temperature. Charging time is longer in cold
periods such as 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 twelve- 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. If the scooter is going to be left for a period of one month or more we recommend disconnecting
the grey battery connector.
