BATTERY CARE

TO ENSURE THE ZAP BATTERY GIVES ITS BEST PERFORMANCE:
1) Store and charge your ZAPPY at temperatures between 50° F

(10° C) and 100° F (38° C).

2) Keep your battery charged. Batteries stored for long periods of

time will self-discharge. The higher the temperature, the greater
the rate of self-discharge.

3) Keep the terminals clean and tight.
4) Handle with care (don't drop it).
5) Recharge your battery as soon as you can after riding.
6) The ZAP battery will take 4-10 cycles of riding and charging to

bring the battery up to its full potential.

7) DEEP DEPTH OF DISCHARGE ON A CONTINUAL BASIS WILL

DIMINISH THE OVERALL LIFE OF THE BATTERY.

8) Always disconnect the battery power connector when shipping or

storing the battery.

9) Do not leave the charger connected to the battery for more than

48 hours.

BATTERY PACK REPLACEMENT

Batteries must be recycled. To preserve natural
resources, please recycle the battery properly.

Local, state or federal laws prohibit disposal of
lead-acid batteries in ordinary trash. Consult your
local waste authority for information regarding
available recycling options, or call ZAP customer
service.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

When the battery needs to be replaced, we recommend that you
contact your nearest ZAP authorized dealer.

BATTERY PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING

WARNING Upon the removal of the battery, cover the
