Batteries and Charger
We recommend that you use deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free for your power
scooter. Lead acid (SLA) and gel cell are Deep cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Deep-cycle
batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down, and then accept a relatively quick
charge. Lead acid batteries should be charged as often as possible.
Specification of the battery that we recommend:
Type:
Deep Cycle Sealed lead acid or gel cell
Size:
20 AH
Voltage:
12 V Each (4) totals
Depending on the use, terrain and driving conditions, the batteries will provide a range of 43 miles of
travel. However, even if the power scooter is not in use we recommend that the batteries be charged at
least monthly.
