BATTERY & CHARGING INSTRUCTION
Lead-Acid 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 specifically designed to provide power, drain down, and then
accept a relatively quick recharge. Lead-acid batteries should be charged as often as possible.

Depending on the use, terrain and driving conditions, the batteries will provide a range of 15 km of
travel. However, even if the power scooter is not in use, we recommend that the batteries are
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.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries should be recycled or disposed of
as per state and local guidelines.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
In order to maximize the lifespan of lithium batteries, they need to be given a full charge before use and
make sure they are fully charged and disconnected from the scooter prior to storage.
BATTERY CHARGER
The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage (alternating current) and converts it into DC voltage
(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 at zero. This is how the charger maintains a charge but does
not overcharge the battery.
Note 1: The batteries cannot be charged if they were discharged to nearly zero voltage.
Note 2: The powered scooter meet the requirement of ISO 7176-14:2008 and ISO 7176-21:2003.
Note 3: Only use the battery charger type 4C24050A which was provided by the scooter supplier. The use of
any different type of charger can be hazardous and need the approval of the manufacturer.
