OPERATING YOUR SCOOTER (Cont.)

BATTERY INDICATOR

Reading from left to right; the battery level indicator has three green lights, four yellow lights and three red lights. The batteries are completely charged when all the lights are illuminated. As the battery level decreases the lights will go off one by one, starting on the left.

The indicator lights show the battery voltage available to the controller. It is normal that the indicator goes down during conditions of initial acceleration, as the extra load will cause the voltage to drop momentarily. This momentary drop is not a true reading of battery capacity.

Also, when the scooter is first powered up, there is a momentary self-test to verify and light. The indicator may initially show full charge even if the batteries are not fully charged. This is a characteristic of the batteries. For this reason, the most accurate battery reading is obtained when riding on a flat surface.

If the battery indicator remains in the RED zone, it is important to recharge your batteries as soon as possible.

Never fully discharge your batteries by overuse, as this will shorten battery life and could cause damage to the battery.
