Please follow these steps to properly break in your scooter’s new batteries for maximum efficiency and service life.
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88% of

its peak performance level.

2. Operate your new scooter in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from your

home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your scooter’s controls and have properly
broken in your scooter’s batteries.

3. Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.
4. Operate your scooter again.
5. Fully recharge the batteries again.
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance

level and are able to last for an extended period of time.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?

Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your scooter’s
batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or
stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.

How should I store my scooter and its batteries?

If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:

!

Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.

!

Disconnect the battery harnesses.

!

Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment.

!

Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.

WARNING! If your scooter’s batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them. Cold or

frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.

For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise the scooter
off of the ground. This takes the weight off of the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the
areas of the tires contacting the ground.

What about public transportation?

If you intend to use public transportation while using your scooter, you must contact in advance the transportation
provider to determine their specific requirements.
