Battery System
Battery System Overview
Your Capri Scooter arrives with an installed battery pack of (4) 12Vdc sealed lead acid
batteries that are combined together to create a 48 Vdc/20Ah power source. A 48Vdc system
offers better performance and lower overall electric system resistance. A 48Vdc power source
allows for lighter wiring.
The battery pack should last for over 290 to 330 cycles, in essence
thousands of miles. Replacement battery packs are available. See our section in this manual on
how to change the battery pack. Battery life is dependant on how often you charge the unit.
It is best to operate your scooter near to the point that the battery system is fully discharged.
This would mean the Battery Charge Level reading is in the lower part of the red segment of
the meter.
Initial Charging Cycle
Your Capri arrives from the factory fully charged. Once the initial charge is used a typical charging
cycle lasts between 6 - 8 hours.
