INSPECTING THE BATTERY TERMINALS

ALWAYS

turn the scooter off and remove the key before inspecting 

the battery. 

• Periodically check the battery for leakage or corrosion. Using a Phillips

screwdriver, remove the screws from the battery door in the floor board.
Set aside the hardware. Open the battery door.

• Visually inspect the battery, its cables and terminals for damage.

• If you see corrosion on the battery terminals, they will need to 

be cleaned.  

NEVER

pick up the battery by its cables or connectors. 

• Pull the terminal covers back to expose both battery terminals. Using a 

Phillips screwdriver or wrench, disconnect the negative (black) cable from the battery terminal first, then disconnect the
positive (red) cable from the battery terminal (Fig 1). When removing the cables from the battery, make sure they do not
come in contact with each other.

• Lift the battery up and out of the compartment. Handle the battery carefully.

• Gently clean the posts with a wire brush.

• Wipe the posts clean with a damp cloth (a dry cloth may cause static electricity). 

• Lower the battery into the compartment.

• Reconnect the positive (red) cable to the positive terminal. Reconnect the negative (black) cable to the negative terminal.

When re-connecting the cables to the battery, make sure they do not come in contact with each other.

• Replace the terminal covers.

• Replace the battery door, and secure it with the screws. 

REPLACING THE BATTERY

• The scooter battery will need to be replaced if:

- The battery has completely discharged.
- The battery has leaked.
- The battery casing is cracked or damaged.

• Contact your dealer to purchase a new battery. Use of an unauthorized battery will void the warranty.

• Follow the instructions above for accessing and removing the battery.

• Lower the new battery into the compartment. 

• Reconnect the positive (red) cable to the positive terminal. Reconnect the negative (black) cable to the negative terminal. 

• Replace the battery door, and secure it with the screws. 

Routine Care and Maintenance, 

continued

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

• The battery is sealed and does not require electrolyte replacement. 

• To help preserve the life of the battery, use the kick starter method to start your scooter for short trips (see page 9). 

• The battery charge is maintained with current from the alternator. 

• Batteries discharge during long periods of storage.  When storing your scooter for periods longer than 2-4 weeks, maintain

the battery by using a low amperage battery maintenance charger designed specifically for motorcycle and scooter batteries.

BATTERY DISPOSAL

NEVER

throw the battery away in the trash or burn it in a fire. In most areas, it is illegal to

burn lead acid batteries or put them in a landfill. 

• Take the exhausted battery to an approved lead acid battery recycle center, such as an

auto parts store or battery retailer. 

• Call your waste collection service to find out if they offer disposal of lead acid batteries. 

Do not dispose of the battery or battery acid in any unapproved place. Follow your state
guidelines for proper disposal procedure.
