17.1. Batteries
DANGER !

Never expose the batteries to a direct heat
source such as a naked flame or gas fire.

Do not smoke near the batteries, especially
when charging them.

Do not attempt to replace the 100A battery
fuse located between the batteries yourself.

Never attempt to by - pass the main battery
fuse as this would be very dangerous and
could cause a fire and severe injury.

If you suspect there is a fault, contact your
Authorised Dealer or Horizon Mobility as soon
as possible.

Take extreme care when working on or near
your batteries not to short circuit the battery
terminals. Tools, a metal watch strap jewel-
lery etc can conduct and if dropped across the
battery terminals may cause severe burns
and/or explosion!

Your batteries are extremely heavy, always
use the correct lifting techniques when fitting
or removing them from the scooter.

Once the replacement batteries have been
fitted always refit the battery retaining bar
and tighten securely.
17.2. Removing your batteries
Remove the seat (see Section 11.2)
Remove the Battery cover by sliding your fingers
under the lower front edge and peeling open the
“hook and loop” retaining tape. Gently lift the cover
up over the seat post, making sure the retaining
tape at the rear of the cover comes undone as you
lift.
Unscrew each of the battery terminals nearest the
back of the scooter using correct sized spanner or
other tools, depending on the battery type fitted.
Unscrew and remove the fused battery connecting
wire located over the front terminals of each
battery.
Undo the handwheel securing the battery retaining
bar in place and sliding the bar up over its locating
post.
Always lift the batteries by bending at the knee with
the battery positioned centrally in front of you, rest
your forearms on your knees for support.
If the battery has lifting handles then grasp this with
both hands and lift the battery vertically by slowly
straightening your legs. Keep your back straight and
never use your arms alone to lift then weight.
Move the battery to a safe place, keeping your back
posture straight and upright, and bending knees.
17.3. Replacing your batteries
Follow the procedure for Removing your Batteries
in reverse, finishing by replacing and securing the
seat (see Section 11.2)

17.5. Maintenance free battery care plan
CAUTION!
1. Only use an approved charger supplied for and
compatible you’re your mobility vehicle being
charged.
2. Charge your batteries every night, regardless of
the amount of use your mobility vehicle has had
during the day.
3. Do not interrupt the charging cycle.
4.If your mobility device is not required for use, it
should remain connected to the charger and the
charger remain switched on until the vehicle is re-
quired. This will not damage your batteries, as long
as the mains socket/plug is left switched on. Turning
the mains socket/plug off, but leaving the mains ca-
ble plugged in will eventually flatten your batteries
to the point of permanently damaging them beyond
recovery.
5. If you leave your vehicle for an extended period
(more than 14 days) charge the batteries fully and
then disconnect one of the battery terminals.
6. Failure to fully recharge your batteries will dam-
age them and lead to shortened distances and
premature failure.
7. Do not top up the charge of your batteries during
the day. Wait until you can leave the vehicle to fully
recharge, such as each evening for a full overnight
charge.
8. As a general rule, maintenance free batteries take
longer to fully charge than “wet” lead acid batteries.
