Batteries and charging

Battery pack care plan

1.Only use the approved battery charger compatible with the vehicle to be charged.

2.Charge your batteries every night, regardless of the amount of use your mobility device has had during the day.

3.Do not interrupt the charging cycle.

4.If your mobility device is not required for use, it should remain connected to the charger for a maximum of

12 hours. This will not damage the batteries, so long as the mains socket/plug is left switched on.

Do not leave the charger still connected to the batteries, when the mains has been switched off. This will eventually deplete the battery charge.

5.If you leave your vehicle for an extended period (more than 5 days) first charge your batteries for 12 hours, then remove charger lead and ensure the battery pack is switched off.

6.Failure to allow for recharge will damage the batteries and can lead to shortened distances and permanent failure.

7.Do not top up the charge of your batteries during the day. Wait until the evening for a full overnight charge.

Caution!

Always remember to remove the plug from your scooter after charging to prevent driving away whilst attached.

The scooter can not be operated when being charged.

8.The battery pack needs to be checked regularly for signs of damage. If any damage is apparent, contact your local mobility dealer.

Caution!

Take care not to short circuit the battery terminals. When using metal tools, exercise great care. Remove all conductive jewellery (e.g. watches, necklaces etc.) before handling exposed batteries.

9.Following all the eight points above should result in a healthier battery, greater range for the vehicle user and a longer life for your batteries.
