WARNING! 

1. 

Keep away from flammable objects while charging. 

2. 

Do not smoke while charging. Always charge your battery in a well-ventilated space. 

3. 

Never connect or disconnect the plug or cord with wet hands.

 

 

5.2 CHARGER 

The charger

’s red LED will be ON when you plug it into the power outlet. The orange LED will change to green 

when the charging is complete. 

 

5.3 BATTERY 

Do  not  expose  the  battery  to  temperatures  below  -10°  or  above  50°  when  charging  or  storing  the  scooter. 

Exceeding the specified temperature ranges can lead to freezing or over heating of the battery. This will possibly 

damage the batteries and shorten their lifetime. 

The battery type used on your scooter is sealed and maintenance-free. 

 

 

SUGGESTION

 

1.  Do not use the battery to charge any other equipment. 

2.  Battery capability will vary with outside conditions; the driving distances will be shorter in the winter.   

3.  If  the  scooter  is  not  to  be  used  for  a  long  time  please  charge  the  battery  every  three  months  and 

always charge fully before putting into storage. 

4.  There are two batteries within the battery pack, always replace both batteries at the same time, with 

batteries of the same make and specification. 

5.  For  the  best  results  and  to  prolong  battery  life,  try  to  run  the  battery  down  by  at  least  50%  before 

recharging and in addition it always best to go through a complete charge cycle each time. 

6.  For the best results  your batteries  really need to  be cycled for their first 10-15 charges. This means 

run them down as much as you safely can in use and then give them a full charge. They will not work 

at their best until this process has been carried out.    You will find that the distance that your Eclipse 

can travel will gradually increase over the first few weeks of use as the batteries reach their optimum 

efficiency after approximately 12 cycles of discharge and recharge.
