Q: Do I need to remove the battery when I travel via air?
A: According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) the removal of the
lithium battery is required before your Luggie scooter can be checked without
restrictions. According to IATA each passenger is allowed the capacity of one
Luggie lithium battery. If you would like to travel with additional batteries, please
ask your travel companion to carry it for you or check with your airline of travel for
additional details.
Note: It is recommended that you check with your airline of travel prior
to traveling in regard to checking your Luggie scooter. Please be advised
that different airlines may handle the situation differently.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Simply put, a fully charged battery is a happy battery! A fully charged battery will
provide reliable performance and extended battery life, so keep your battery fully
charged whenever possible. Extra care must be taken when handling batteries,
if you decide to fold your vehicle for transportation etc. Dropped battery, even
from a very small height, can lead to damage of the internal components, causing
premature battery failure. Do not open the battery casing, doing so will void the
warranty.
Disposal
Caution : Used batteries must be disposed of properly. Please contact your
local electronic waste facility to dispose of used batteries properly.
BATTERY WARRANTY
The battery shipped with your Luggie has a limited warranty to be free of material
defect or workmanship for a period for 12 months. Any battery faults due to a defect
in manufacture or materials will be obvious within a few weeks of use. The condition
of your battery will be dependent on the actual use of the scooter and how often the
battery is cycled ie discharged and charged. Gradual deterioration in performance
and reduction in range is normal and associated with fair wear and tear, misuse
or accidental damage. Under these circumstances, the warranty will not apply.
Some users due to their hectic lifestyle, weight or operating conditions, may wear
their battery out during the original battery manufacturer's guarantee period due to
extensive use of their scooter. The battery has a defined number of discharge cycles
it can make. The more times you use your scooter the more cycles your battery will
make; the shorter their life span.
Remember: The longevity of your battery will be dependent on your care in
breaking in the battery.
Best practice for new battery:
1. Fully charge new battery prior to your initial use. This will bring your battery up to
about 88% performance.
2. Ride your vehicle around the house or garden. Do not venture too far away until
you become accustomed to the controls and feel of the scooter. This will gently
break in your battery.
3. Give your battery another full charge and run the scooter again. The battery will
now perform to over 90% of their full potential.
