What type and size of battery should I use?

We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM 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 are 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.

To change a battery in your scooter:

WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not mix or match new and old batteries. If you encounter a situation where one battery needs to be replaced, then replace both batteries. Refer to specifications table in this manual and the manual supplied with

the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.
