IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical
technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-
cadmium batteries (nicads), and other common
battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically
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 specific
electrical demands. Fresh batteries are shipped fully
charged to our customers. During shipping, the
batteries may encounter temperature extremes that
can influence 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.
