11 BATTERY
The SCROOSER has a lithium-ion battery. After 500 charging cycles, it will still have a capacity of
70-80 percent. At an average level of use, this is equivalent to a service life of five years. After that,
the battery capacity and range of your SCROOSER will decrease. At that point, you should replace
the battery.
The current battery charge can be viewed by pressing the membrane button on the battery. When
the battery is fully charged (battery charge: 100%), all five LEDs will be lit up.

In comparison with other types of battery, lithium-ion batteries have very low self-discharge.
Nonetheless, their capacity still decreases over time, so even if the battery is fully charged you
should recharge it at least every three months if it is not in use. In order to extend the battery’s
service life, we recommend charging it after each use. Lithium-ion batteries do not suffer from
memory effect.
There are three steps required to charge the battery:
1.
Remove the depleted battery from the SCROOSER.
2.
Recharge the battery (only use the charger supplied with the SCROOSER).
3.
Put the recharged battery back in the SCROOSER.
How to remove the battery:
The battery is located under the footboard, which
has a lock to prevent unauthorised use/removal
of the battery.
1.
Open the horizontal footboard using the key
that came with your SCROOSER and fold it
forwards.
