Battery Charging Information
• If you are not going to use your Companion for an extended time, fully charge the
batteries before storing your scooter. The batteries can be left unmaintained for up
to six months if they are first fully charged and kept at room temperature (approxi-
mately 72° F).
• Ideally, if you are not going to use your Golden Companion for an extended period
of time, charge the batteries overnight at least once every two weeks.
