Battery and Charging Information
Battery pack care plan
1. Only use the approved battery
charger compatible with the vehicle to
be charged.
2. Charge your batteries over night,
regardless of the amount of use your
mobility device has had during the
day.
3. Do not interrupt the charging cycle.
4. If your mobility device is not required
for use, it should remain on charge.
This will not damage the batteries, so
long as the mains socket/plug is left
switched on.
Do not leave the charger still
connected to the batteries when
the mains has been switched off.
This will eventually deplete the
battery charge.
5. If you leave your vehicle for an
extended period (more than
5 days) first charge your batteries
for 12 hours, then remove charger
and ensure the batteries are
disconnected.
6. Failure to allow for full recharge will
damage the batteries and can lead to
shortened distances and permanent
failure.
7. Do not top up the charge of your
batteries during the day except in an
emergency. Wait until the evening for
a full overnight charge.
Caution
Remember to remove the plug
from your scooter when charger is
off, to prevent driving away whilst
attached.
The scooter cannot be operated
when being charged.
8. The batteries need to be checked
regularly for signs of damage. If any
damage is apparent, contact your
local mobility dealer immediately.
Caution!
Take care not to short circuit the
battery terminals. Remove all
conductive jewellery (e.g. watches,
necklaces etc.) before checking
the batteries.
9. Following all the eight points above
should result in a healthier battery,
greater range for the vehicle user and
a longer life for your batteries.
