BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Your Scooter uses a calcium sealed, maintenance free, VRLA battery and you should not remove the sealing
strip once the battery has been installed and prepped by a TNG dealer.
NOTE:
To protect your battery against failure it is important to keep your battery fully charged. This
applies primarily if you are not riding your scooter on a regular basis or are traveling only short distances
while you ride. In these limited use situations you should charge your battery at least once a month using a
battery charger for a minimum of 6 hours. Additionally, it is important that your scooter be stored in a dry
area and protected from extreme temperatures.
