BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Battery maintenance is the most important part of maintaining your scooter. Keeping the
batteries fully charged helps to extend battery life. Use the following guidelines to help keep
your batteries in optimum condition.
• For daily use, keep batteries fully charged. We recommend that you plug in the off-board
charger after each use and charge 6-8 hours.
• If you are not going to use the scooter for more than a week, fully charge the batteries
and then disconnect them from the scooter. See figure 16 on page 25.
To Charge the Batteries:
The charger for all Buzzaround XL models is an off-board charger. To charge the batteries,
plug the charger into the charger port on the battery pack or on the side of the console.
See figures 26 and 27.
