Battery and Charging Information

General information

Batteries are the power source for almost

all of the modern mobility products

available today. The design of batteries

used in mobility products is significantly

different from the batteries used to start

a car for example. Car batteries are

designed to release a large amount

of power over a short period of time,

whilst mobility batteries (commonly

called deep cycle batteries) release their

power evenly over a long period of time. Therefore, due to the lower production volumes and increased technological

requirements, mobility batteries are typically more expensive. Commonly two 12 volt batteries are used together in a

mobility product giving a total voltage of 24 volts. The size of the battery (e.g. its

available power) is expressed in amps

per hour (e.g. 10amp/hr). The higher

the number, the bigger the battery size, weight and, potentially, the greater the distance you can travel.

Batteries

Your scooter is fitted with batteries that

require no maintenance, other than regular charging.

If a battery is physically damaged, please

use extreme caution when handling it. Beware! battery fluids are corrosive and care should be taken at all times to avoid contact with it. If it comes into contact with the skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If it comes into contact with the eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and

seek medical attention.

In such an event, call your local dealer for assistance.

Please do not dispose of batteries in normal waste, always recycle in

accordance with local laws.

Maintenance free

This is the type of battery used in the battery pack. It uses GEL electrolyte which is totally sealed within the battery’s outer case. As the name implies, no maintenance is required other than regular charging. As the battery case

is sealed, you can safely transport this type of battery without fear of acid spilling. Furthermore, they are approved for transportation on aircraft, boats and trains.

It is recommended that the batteries are always transported and stored upright. Only use batteries supplied by an authorised dealer.

Battery care

We have set out a battery care plan for maintenance free batteries. If a different care plan is followed, this may result in lower than expected performance from your mobility vehicle.

Note: Do not expose any part of the battery to direct heat and when charging always place on a hard surface in a room with good ventilation. You should not charge the batteries in outdoor conditions. Do not smoke when in the vicinity of charging batteries. Exclude all naked flames from the area.

Do not allow the batteries to freeze.
