Often, you will face hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind.All of these driving conditionsaffectthedistanceorrunningtimeperbatterycharge.Thefollowingareafewsuggestionsforobtaining the maximum range per battery charge.

What type and size of battery should I use?

We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. BothAGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.

WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.

NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.
