BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your scooter requires one long-lasting, 24-volt, Lithium Ion battery that is
sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an off -board charging
system.
Charge your scooter's batteries for at least 8 to 14 hours prior to using
it for the fi rst time.
Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.
A second 24-volt, Lithium Ion battery is available as an option to
further increase range.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate
strength of your batteries using a color code. From right to left, green
indicates fully charged batteries, yellow indicates a draining charge, and red
indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See fi gure 8. To ensure
the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked while
operating your scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface.
T
he battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a color code.
From right to left on the meter, green (5 LEDs) indicates fully charged batteries, yellow (3 LEDs) a draining charge, and
red (2 LEDs) indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See fi gure 8. To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery
condition meter should be checked while operating your vehicle at full speed on a dry, level surface. When 5 LEDs (2 red
LEDs and 3 yellow LEDs) are displayed, your batteries have 10% charge remaining.
NOTE: Ensure that the battery disconnect switch is in the "on" position (-) prior to charging your vehicle's battery.
The battery will NOT charge if the battery disconnect switch is in the "off " position (O). See fi gure 12.
NOTE: Battery condtion meter adjusts brightness based on environmental lighting.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary, properly
install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access.
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger
directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.
PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the scooter while the batteries
are charging. We recommend that you do not charge the batteries while the scooter is occupied.
MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual supplied
with the battery charger before charging the batteries.
WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the scooter and
battery charger away from sources of ignition such as fl ames or sparks and provide adequate
ventilation when charging the batteries.
WARNING! You must recharge your scooter's batteries with the supplied off-board charger. Do
not use an automotive-type battery charger.
WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before each use.
Contact your authorized Provider if damage is found.
