There are two battery options on the Eclipse, the standard which has 12A/H batteries and the heavy duty which
has 21A/H batteries, giving a longer range. All of the references relate to both battery sizes and the only difference
physically is that the Heavy Duty battery pack is slightly larger and slightly heavier.
5.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Be sure to follow the procedures shown below accordingly.
1.
Turn the scooter key switch to
”OFF”.
2.
Open the charging socket cap on the scooter’s cover
then connect the charger’s plug to the charging socket.
3.
Connect the charger cord to the power outlet.
4.
The charger’s LED light will be orange at the beginning of a
charge. The charging duration is at least 6 - 8 hours but this will
vary based on the status of the battery and factors such as temperature.
5.
The orange LED will turn to green when the charging is complete.
6.
Disconnect the cord and remove the round plug from the charge socket.
SUGGESTION
1.
Do not disconnect the charger cord if the charging is not complete. The battery life will be shortened
if the battery is repeatedly used without being fully charged. Therefore, be sure to charge the battery
fully every time.
2.
Continue to charge until the green LED light is on. NEVER stop charging before it is complete.
3.
Disconnect the power cord when charging is complete.
4.
If your scooter is left unused for a long period of time, it should be charged at least every 3 months
to keep the battery at full status.
5.
Charging time will be affected by the ambient temperature so it takes longer in the wintertime.
