V. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your scooter requires 2 long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and
maintenance free(
Figure 12.a
).
They are recharged by an off-board charging system(
Figure 12.b
).
►
Charge your batteries prior to using it for the first time.
►
Deep Charge the batteries every three months to keep your scooter running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition indicator LED on the dashboard indicates the approximate strength of
your batteries using a color code(
Figure 7
).
From right to left, green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow indicates a draining charge,
and red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. To ensure the highest accuracy,
the battery condition meter should be checked while operating your scooter at full speed
on a dry, level surface.
WARNINGNS
Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an
approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access.
Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a
properly wired standard electrical outlet.
Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the scooter while the batteries are charging.
We recommends that you do not charge the batteries while the scooter is occupied.
Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual supplied with the
battery charger before charging the batteries.
Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the scooter and
battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide
adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.
You must recharge your batteries with the supplied off-board charger. Do not use an
automotive-type battery charger.
Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before each use. Contact
your authorized ChiefRider Provider if damage is found.
