● When driving on an incline, the battery indicator light might move up
and down. This is normal.
● Even if the batteries are used properly their capacity will decay over time,
thereby reducing the drive range (maximum distance traveled per full
charge). Thus, when the drive range becomes about 50% of what brand
new batteries would offer, it's time to replace them with new batteries.
Otherwise, the batteries may die unexpectedly leaving you in a possibly
precarious situation.
● The drive range will be shortened when driving frequently on slopes or
uneven ground, as this consumes more battery power.
