Charge the battery pack for the recommend initial charge time
•
Never charge the battery pack for more than 24 hours
•
Do not allow battery to completely discharge before recharging
•
Storing the battery in a partially discharged state will greatly reduce its life expectancy
•
Recharge after each use regardless of time used
•
Fully charge battery before storing
•
Be sure to charge battery pack at least once every 30 days even if not used. Doing so will help to maximize the life of your battery pack
•
Do not store batteries below 50º Fahrenheit or above 80º Fahrenheit in order to help maximize the battery life
•
Never allow batteries to freeze. Freezing temperature depends on charge state of the battery, so store at full charge, to avoid damage. Battery
•
capacity is greatly reduced by low temperatures because the electrolyte thickens and is less active. In order to perform satisfactorily in cold
weather the battery must be kept in peak condition, so when the temperature drops you will have to keep a closer watch on the battery.
Never allow batteries to be stored or operated in excessively hot temperatures. The optimum operating temperature is 77º Fahrenheit for most
•
VRSLA (Valve Regulated Sealed Lead Acid Battery). Storing or operating the battery in excessively hot temperatures (+90º Fahrenheit) will
greatly reduce the available capacity.
Always be sure to turn the scooter “OFF” after each use via the On/Off power switch.
•
Do not store battery on surfaces that could be damaged if the battery were to leak battery acid. Take precautions to protect the surface on
•
which you store the battery.
