BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE

BATTERY

Do not expose the battery to temperatures below 50°F or above 122°F when charging or storing the vehicle. Under the above temperature range can cause the battery either to freeze or over heat. This will damage the batteries and shorten their life.

These batteries are maintenance free and there is no need to refill with water.

You are required to recharge the batteries on a regular basis. Even if the scooter is left idle, you should charge the batteries at least once a week.

WARNING

Do not open the battery sealed cap at any time.
