Batteries and Battery Charger
Batteries
The
Torino
is supplied with two, maintenance free, sealed AGM batteries. These
are fitted under the seat on the scooter.
Battery performance can be affected by low temperatures, rough terrain and the
weight of the user. Your battery gauge is a guide only on the level of charge
remaining in the batteries.
An active user can use 30% of the battery capacity or more per day.
An inactive user may only use 50% of the battery capacity in a week.
Battery Charger
Charge the batteries completely (8-12 hours) prior to first use.
Batteries supplied with your scooter are specially designed for use on
powerchairs and scooters and require an automatic battery charger. These
chargers have an electronic switch that terminates the charge when the
batteries are full.
The battery charger is an 8-amp switch mode type off board. The charger is able
to read the level of charge in the batteries and will switch off when the batteries
are fully charged.
To charge the batteries connect the plug lead into the charging socket (page 8)
on the tiller and the 3-pin plug into the wall socket and switch on.
The battery charger has two lights. A constant red light will show when the
battery charger is connected (this will flash if there is a break in the connection).
The orange light indicates that the batteries are receiving charge, this will
change to green when the charging cycle is complete.
Caution: Always charge the batteries in a well-ventilated indoor area. You
must still maintain charging the batteries even if the scooter is not to be
used for a prolonged period of time (2 to 3 weeks). Failure to do so could
result in permanent damage and render the batteries unusable. Wherever
possible do not interrupt the charge cycle until the batteries are fully
charged. Continual interruption can permanently damage the batteries. If
the charging lead should become damaged discontinue use immediately
and seek a replacement from your dealer.
Disposing and recycling of used batteries
Batteries must always be recycled correctly. Do not dispose of them with your
domestic refuge.
For further information regarding your nearest recycling facility please contact your
local authority.
