I V. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
How does the charger work?
When your scooter’s battery voltage is low the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the
batteries to bring up their charge. As the voltage approaches full charge, the charger sends less and less electrical
current to the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent by the charger is at nearly zero
amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your scooter’s batteries, but does
not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your scooter’s batteries for more than 24 consecu-
tive hours.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your scooter’s batteries:
! All day scooter use on a daily basis.
! Infrequent or sporadic scooter use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your scooter’s
batteries. We designed the charger so that it will not overcharge your scooter’s batteries. However, you may
encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge them on a
regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and charging:
! If you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your scooter will be ready
each morning. We recommend that you charge your scooter’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
! If you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a time.
! Keep your scooter’s batteries fully charged.
! Avoid deeply discharging your scooter’s batteries.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
To charge the batteries with the battery packs removed from the scooter:
1. Remove the battery packs from the scooter and place them on a flat, dry surface in exactly the same positions
as they are on the scooter. See VII. “Disassembly and Assembly” for information on how to remove and
position the battery packs.
NOTE: The battery packs must be connected in order to charge.
2. Follow steps 4-9 from the previous page.
3. Reinstall the battery packs onto the scooter.
What if my scooter’s batteries won’t charge?
! Ensure that both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
! Ensure that both battery packs are seated into the battery wells properly.
! Ensure that the charger is turned on at the toggle switch located on the side of the off-board charger.
! Check the charger fuse located inside the right battery pack. The fuse is attached to the wire leading from
the charger power cord receptacle.
