6.3 BATTERY 

 

Do not expose the battery to temperatures below – 10°C or above 50°C when charging or storing the 

vehicle. Being out of the above temperature range can cause the battery either to freeze or over heat. This 

will damage the batteries and shorten their life. 

 

 

These batteries are maintenance free and there is no need to inspect the battery liquid or refill with water. 

 

 

You are required to recharge the batteries on a regular basis. Even if the scooter is stood idle, you should 

charge the batteries at least once a week. 

 

 

 

Warning

 

Do not open the battery-sealed cap at any time. 


 

Batteries 

Battery specific specifications

 

please refer to 9.SPECIFICATION

.

 

 

They are sealed lead acid type, and are maintenance free and non-spillable. 

 

They are supplied with spade terminals.

 

 

 

Warning

 

Do not remove the battery pack whilst the scooter is switched (ON). This will cause the 

scooter to stop and may damage the scooter. If, whilst the scooter is switched on, the 

battery pack is accidentally removed or loses contact as the result of jolt, switch the 

scooter (OFF). Then reinsert the battery pack and switch the scooter (ON). 

 

 

Charging the Batteries 

Using the charger supplied with the scooter, the charging duration is about 8 hours. 

 

However, to ensure optimum performance we recommend a 12-hour charge. 

 

We also recommend that the batteries are not charged for more than 24 hours.
