Batteries And Charging
Your mobility scooter requires two 12-volt, batteries. The batteries are recharged by the off-
board charger that is included with every Zip’r Traveler and Xtra mobility scooter.
•
Charge your mobility scooter batteries for at least 6 to 8 hours prior to using it for the first
time.
•
Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your mobility scooter operating smoothly.
•
We advise that the batteries should be charged for 6 to 8 hours every 2 weeks when the
scooter is not being used.
Battery Level
The battery level indicator on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your
batteries using a color code. From top to bottom, green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow
a medium level, and red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. To ensure the
highest accuracy, the battery indicator should be checked while operating your mobility scooter
at full speed on a dry, level surface.
PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazards. If necessary,
properly install an approved 3-prong adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged
plug access.
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the
charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.
PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the mobility scooter
while the batteries are charging. Do not charge the batteries while the mobility scooter is
occupied.
MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual
