Your Legend requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an onboard 3-amp charging system.

νCharge your Legend’s batteries prior to using it for the first time.

νKeep the batteries fully charged to keep your Scooter running smoothly.

READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE

The battery condition meter on the control console assembly indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a color code. Green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See figure 9.

You can also check the charge by the ammeter, located on the electronic controller assembly. The charger power cord must be plugged into a standard wall outlet in order to obtain a reading. When the amperage reading is at or near zero amps, charging is complete. See figure 10.
