BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free.
They are recharged by an off-board charging system.
Charge your scooter’s batteries for at least 8 to 14 hours prior to using it for the first time.
Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.

READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console
indicates the approximate strength of your batteries
using a color code. From right to left, green indicates
fully charged batteries, yellow indicates a draining
charge and red indicates that an immediate recharge
is necessary.
See figure 7
. To ensure the highest
accuracy, the battery condition meter should be
checked while operating your scooter at full speed
on a dry, level surface.
