Why do my new batteries seem weak?

Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel- cadmium batteries (nicads), and other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge.

We work closely with our battery manufacturer to
provide batteries that best suit your scooter’s specific
electrical demands. Fresh batteries are shipped fully
charged to our customers. During shipping, the
batteries may encounter temperature extremes that
can influence their initial performance. Heat	Figure 14. Battery Removal/Installation
diminishes the charge on the battery; cold slows the
available power and extends the time needed to
recharge the battery.

It may take a few days for the temperature of your scooter’s batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room or ambient temperature. More importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (partial draining followed by full recharging) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak performance and long life.
