5.Fully recharge the batteries again.

6.After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will be able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance level and will be able to last for an extended period of time.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?

Fully charged deep-cycle batteries will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your Shuttle’s 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 life.

How should I store my Shuttle and its batteries?

If you plan on not using your Shuttle for an extended period of time, it is best to:

νFully charge its batteries prior to storage.

νDisconnect the battery harnesses from the electronic controller assembly.

νStore your Shuttle in a warm, dry environment.

νAvoid storing your Shuttle where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.

WARNING! If your Shuttle’s 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 recharging.

For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Shuttle to raise the scooter off of the ground. This takes the weight off of the tires and prevents the possibility of flat spots from developing on the areas of the tires in contact with 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.
