The Battery
The Boomerbuggy series utilizes two maintenance free, sealed lead acid batteries. Battery
performance is aff ected by various factors including: temperature, terrain, the weight of
the user, and overall usage for the batteries. The battery level indicator is only a guide for
judging the amount of charge in the batteries. The true charge of the batteries will display
once the scooter is in drive.
To optimize the battery life, only charge the scooter once the batteries are at approximate-
ly 20%
When storing your unit, be sure to charge the scooter at least once every two weeks to op-
timize the battery’s life. Leaving the batteries completely discharged can cause irreversible
damage to the batteries and may need to be replaced.
Charger and Charging
To charge your scooter, fi rst make sure that the bike is off . Plug the charger into the charging
port amd then plug the charger into the outlet. Once connected, a red light should appear
on the charger; this indicates the scooter is being charged. When the scooter is completely
charged, the charger will automatically terminate the charge and the light will turn green.
The charger requires a minimum feedback voltage signal from the batteries in order to
begin the charging cycle. If your batteries are severely discharged for a long period of time,
the charge may not receive the necessary feedback and therefore the batteries will not
charge. If this occurs, contact your nearest Daymak dealer for assistance.
Always insert the charger into your scooter before the outlet. Failure to do so has a possi-
bility of short- circuiting the scooter.
Never let your batteries completely discharge. Doing so can result in irreversible damage
to the batteries.
