Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than that used in
car batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries (nicads), or in other battery types. Deep-
cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their
charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge.
Zipr Mobility works closely with our battery manufacturers to provide batteries
that best suit your scooter’s specific electrical demands. During shipping, the
batteries may encounter temperature extremes that may influence their initial
performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the battery; cold slows the
available power and extends the time needed to recharge the battery.
It may take a few days for the temperature of your scooter’s batteries to stabilize
and adjust to their new room or ambient temperature. More importantly, it takes
a few charging cycles to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to
a deep-cycle battery’s peak performance and long life.
