What if my Travel Scooter's batteries will not charge?
Ensure that the fuse on the battery pack is in working condition. See figure 6 or 7.
Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your Travel Scooter's batteries:
All day use on a daily basis.
Infrequent or sporadic use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your
Travel Scooter's batteries. The battery charger was designed so that it will not overcharge your Travel
Scooter's batteries. However, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often
enough and if you do not charge them on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe
and reliable battery operation and charging.
If you use your Travel Scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your
Travel Scooter will be ready each morning. We recommend that you charge your Travel Scooter's
batteries for at least 8 to 14 hours after daily use. We recommend that you charge the batteries for an
additional 4 hours after the battery charger indicates that charging is complete.
If you use your Travel Scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for at least
24 hours.
NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Refer to the
manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions. We recommend charging your
batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery
life.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your
Travel Scooter's batteries fully charged whenever possible. Protect your Travel Scooter and batteries from
extreme heat or cold. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in
extreme temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable
performance and limited service life.
NOTE: To extend battery life, always turn off Travel Scooter and remove the key when not in use.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions—smooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves.
Often, you will face hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of
which affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining
the maximum range per battery charge.
Always fully charge your Travel Scooter's batteries prior to daily use.
Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.
Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
Try to maintain an even speed while your Travel Scooter is in motion.
Avoid stop-and-go driving.
We recommend charging your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve
battery performance and battery life.
Make sure all harness connections are secured properly.
