More importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (a partial drain followed by a full recharge) to establish the
critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle batterys peak performance and long life.
Please follow these steps to properly break in your Dynamos new batteries for maximum efficiency and
service life.
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about
88% of its peak performance level.
2. Operate your new Dynamo in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far
from your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your Dynamos con-
trols and have properly broken in your scooters batteries.
3. Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.
4. Operate your Dynamo again.
5. Fully recharge the batteries again.
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak
performance level and are able to last for an extended period of time.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your
Dynamos batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged,
infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable
performance and limited service life.
How should I store my Dynamo and its batteries?
If you plan on not using your Dynamo for an extended period of time, it is best to:
n Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
n Disconnect the battery harnesses from the electronic controller assembly.
n Store your Dynamo in a warm, dry environment.
n Avoid storing your Dynamo where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! If your Dynamos batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them.
Cold or frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharing.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Dynamo to raise the
scooter off of the ground. This takes the weight off of the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots
developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.
What about public transportation?
If you intend to use public transportation while using your scooter, you must contact in advance the trans-
portation provider to determine their specific requirements.
