5. BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE
5.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY
Follow the procedure below step by step:
1. Switch the ignition (OFF)
2. Connect the charger’s power cord into the power outlet.
3. Connect the charger’s round plug to the charging socket (the charging socket is located on the left hand
side of the tiller head)
4. Switch the charger on.
5. Both the charger’s red and orange LEDs will be lit when beginning charging. The charging duration is
approximately 10 hours. To ensure optimum performance a 12 – 14 hour charge is recommended.
6. Both the charger’s LEDs will be lit during the charging process. The orange LED will turn green when
bulk charging is complete after which the charger trickle charges the batteries. Trickle charging
optimises the batteries and is necessary to maintain or improve battery performance.
7. Turn off the charger, disconnect the power cord and the round plug from charger socket on the scooter.
Suggestion
1. Do not disconnect the charger cord if charging is not completed. The battery life will be
seriously shortened or decayed if the battery is repeatedly used without being fully charged.
Therefore be sure to charge the battery fully every time.
2. Always complete the charging until the orange LED light turns green. NEVER stop charging
before it is complete.
3. When fully charged, the battery charger will still trickle charge the battery to ensure optimum
range.
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 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. Should range or power problems arise, please charge your scooter for 24 hours continually and
then retry the scooter.
Attention: Please follow the rules below to avoid accidents while charging.
1.
Please use the Mercury 24V charger only, and recharge the battery to its full capacity every
time. You may damage the battery and scooter if you use a charger which is not to the
correct specification.
2.
Never disassemble or modify the charger.
3.
Please charge in a well-ventilated space where it is not directly exposed to the sunlight. Do
not charge in surroundings where it is humid, damp or wet.
4.
Do not charge in temperatures less than -10
°
C or higher than +50°C as the charger may not
work well and the batteries may become damaged.
