Battery Use
CAUTION
• Never short circuit the battery or battery connectors.
• Always ensure the charger is dry before use.
• The charger gets quite warm in use - this is normal.
• If in doubt of the state of the battery, recharge it until the
indicator on the battery charger indicates a full charge.
• If the battery is not to be used for an extended period,
store it in a well ventilated area away from children,
heat, and ignition sources. Recharge it every three
months to maintain charge and avoid excess
off-gassing. DO NOT store the battery inside the
SEASCOOTER
™
.
• If the battery appears damaged or will not fully charge,
the battery must be replaced. If battery life is noticeably
reduced, the battery should be replaced.
• The battery supplied with your SEASCOOTER™
should last about 200 cycles or two years before it
should be replaced. Please contact your local customer
service center/distributors. Using a battery in excess of
these recommendations can result in excessive
off-gassing of explosive gases.
