V I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G
Your Revo is equipped with a battery/charger pack which includes two sealed, maintenance free 17 AH batteries.
n Charge the batteries prior to using your Revo for the first time.
n Keeping the batteries fully charged will keep your scooter running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a color
code. See figure 9. Green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red indicates that an
immediate recharge is necessary. To check the charge, you must first unplug the charger power cord and power up
your scooter.
NOTE: To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked while operating
your scooter at full speed on a level surface.
You can also check the charge using the ammeter, which is located on the battery/charger pack. The charger
power cord must be plugged into a standard wall outlet in order to obtain a reading. When the amperage reading
is at or near zero amps, the battery charging is complete. See figure 10.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:
1. Position your scooter close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Make certain that the manual freewheel lever is in the drive (down) position.
4. Remove the charger power cord receptacle cover and plug the charger power cord into the charger power
cord receptacle on the battery/charger pack.
5. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. It is recommended that you charge your
batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
6. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power cord from the wall outlet and then from the
charger power cord receptacle.
7. Replace the charger power cord receptacle cover. See figure 6.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your scooter. The scooter will not run and the battery
condition meter will not operate while the batteries are charging.
