How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your scooter's
batteries fully charged whenever possible. Protect your 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 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, fl at, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. Often,
you will face hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of which aff ect
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 scooter's batteries prior to daily use.
Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire.
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 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.
What type and size of battery should I use?
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle
batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell
batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.
Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a diff erent chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium
batteries (nicads) and other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifi cally designed to provide
power, drain down their charge and then accept a relatively quick recharge.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your scooter's specifi c electrical
demands. Fresh batteries are shipped fully charged to our customers. During shipping, the batteries may encounter
temperature extremes that can infl uence their initial performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the battery; cold
slows the available power and extends the time needed to recharge the battery.
It may take a few days for the temperature of your scooter's batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room or
ambient temperature. More importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (partial draining followed by full recharging)
to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery's peak performance and long life.
