BATTERY CARE AND INFORMATION
Proper maintenance of batteries will maximize their lifespan and capacity. X-Treme Scooters
warranties your new batteries from the date of purchase for 1 full year when properly cared
for. Visit www.x-tremescooters.com/support/ for more information.
BATTERY CARE
Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries do not last forever. Every time the battery is
discharged and subsequently recharged, its relative capacity decreases by a small percentage.
With proper care, the life span of your batteries is between 500-700 cycles. You can maximize
the life of your battery by following the instructions in this guide.
Batteries should be fully charged immediately when they are received for the full
recommended charge times.
LI-Po4 Recommended Charge Time:
4-6 hours. For a complete, 100% charge, leave the battery
on the charger for one full hour after the charger indicator light turns green.
Never charge batteries for longer than 24 hours.
Li-Po4 batteries do not have a “memory.” Partial discharge/charge cycles will not harm
the batteries’ capacity or performance.
The rated output capacity of a battery is measured at 77°F (25°C). Any variation in this
temperature will alter the performance of the battery, and shorten its expected life.
High temperatures especially reduce overall battery life & run time.
Always be sure to turn the bike/scooter power switch to “OFF” after each use. If you
leave the power switch in the “ON” position, or your product has not been charged for
a long period of time, the batteries may reach a stage at which they will no longer hold
a charge.
Be friendly to the environment! Be sure to recycle your old batteries at a local battery-
recycling center. Do not throw them in the garbage!
STORAGE
When storing your batteries for a long period of time (longer than two months):
Charge your batteries every 90 days to avoid capacity loss. Batteries slowly self-
discharge when left unused for a long period of time; if the battery cells are allowed to
reach a critically low voltage, their lifespan and capacity will be permanently reduced.
Always disconnect your charger from the wall outlet and battery before storing the
battery.
