Q: Do I need to remove the battery when I travel via air?
A:
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) the removal of the
lithium battery is required before your Luggie scooter can be checked without
restrictions. According to IATA each passenger is allowed the capacity of one
Luggie lithium battery. If you would like to travel with additional batteries, please
ask your travel companion to carry it for you or check with your airline of travel for
additional details.
Note: It is recommended that you check with your airline of travel prior
to traveling in regard to checking your Luggie scooter. Please be advised
that different airlines may handle the situation differently.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Simply put, a fully charged battery is a happy battery! A fully charged battery will
provide reliable performance and extended battery life, so keep your battery fully
charged whenever possible. Extra care must be taken when handling batteries, if you
decide to fold your vehicle for transportation etc. Dropped battery, even from a very
small height, can lead to damage of the internal components, causing premature battery
failure. DO NOT open the battery casing, doing so will void the warranty.
Disposal
Caution: Used batteries must be disposed of properly. Please contact your local
electronic waste facility to dispose of used batteries properly.
BATTERY WARRANTY
The battery shipped with your Luggie has a limited warranty to be free of material
defect or workmanship. Any battery faults due to a defect in manufacture or materials
will be obvious within a few weeks of use. The condition of your battery will be
dependent on the actual use of the scooter and how often the battery is cycled ie
discharged and charged. Gradual deterioration in performance and reduction in range is
normal and associated with fair wear and tear, misuse or accidental damage. Under these
circumstances, the warranty will not apply. Some users due to their hectic lifestyle,
weight or operating conditions, may wear their battery out during the original battery
manufacturer's guarantee period due to extensive use of their scooter. The battery has a
more cycles your battery will make; the shorter their life span.
Remember: The longevity of your battery will be dependent on your care in breaking in
the battery.
Best practice for new battery:
1. Fully charge new battery prior to your initial use. This will bring your battery up to
about 88% performance.
2. Ride your vehicle around the house or garden.
you become accustomed to the controls and feel of the scooter. This will gently
break in your battery.
3. Give your battery another full charge and run the scooter again. The battery will
now perform to over 90% of their full potential.
