If one battery becomes faulty during the guarantee
period that battery from the pair will be replaced.
1. For longest life, your batteries should always be re-charged
after use. Preferably over night.
2. If your is not used for a period of time, a
refreshing charge should be given every month. Never
leave your batteries in a discharged condition. This is
particularly important with sealed batteries as fitted to
your
. If your batteries fall below a total
terminal voltage of 12 volts, the charger supplied with
your Scooter will not operate. Please consult your
dealer.
3. If your has been stored away for some
time, re-charge your batteries before re-using it.
4. , check the connections on the batteries,
making sure they ate tight and clean.
5.
Batteries are the fuel tank for your Scooter. They provide the
vital energy to power your vehicle. When you ride your
Scooter, the drive motor consumes the energy stored in the
batteries. The battery's energy is gradually reduced over the
period of driving time and will need to be replaced before
you can use your Scooter again.
Similar to the situation with a motor car, in that you need to
replenish the fuel as it is used up as energy, likewise with
your Scooter, you need to replace the used battery energy by
re-charging the discharged battery cells.

Batteries carry a limited guarantee from the original
manufacturer which is subject to a stringent wear and
tear clause. Any battery faults due to a defect in the
original manufacture will normally become obvious
within the first two months. Any gradual deterioration
in performance after this period is normally associated
with fair wear and tear, mis-use or accidental damage
and, as such, is not covered by the manufacturer's
warranty. (This does not affect your statutory rights).

Why do my batteries require recharging?
How does my Charger work?
Your battery Charger is an intelligent automatic charging
instrument. Your Charger's robust framework contains a
number of quality components; namely a transformer, rectifier
and complex control circuitry.
The Charger receives the 100~240V domestic electricity
supply via a standard 3-pin wall plug and reduces this voltage
down to 24 volts via a transformer. At the same time it rectifies
the A.C., alternating domestic current into D.C., direct current.
This matches exactly, the voltage characteristics stored by your
Scooter's batteries.
Your Charger automatically controls the re-charge cycle from
the moment that you switch it on to the moment the green
light on the face of your Charger illuminates.
When your battery's voltage is very low, the Charger will
work extremely hard to replenish the spent energy. As the
battery voltage approaches 90% of the full charge capacity,
the Charger reduces is output for the final stage of the re-
charge cycle. The time taken from switch-on to the end of
the bulk charging will vary, depending on the amount that the
batteries have been used, or in time their age. At this point a
timer is automatically started, to regulate the final stage of the
charging cycle, this set time ensures maximum capacity and
battery life.
The length of time to re-charge your batteries will vary from 6
up to 12 hours. This variation in time is due to the following
factors:
1. -The amount of energy you have
removed from your batteries when driving your Scooter.
2. -This is due to the changes in their internal
electrical resistance.
In most safe domestic environments, i.e. your house, garage
or shed.
Later on in this information, there is reference to the way
temperature variations can affect the performance of your
vehicle. When charging your batteries
, ensure that the battery Charger is close to the
vehicle being charged so that the temperature of the battery
Charger and batteries are almost compatible.
For example, a vehicle may be outside whilst the battery
Charger is inside. It is possible in this situation that the
battery Charger will sense the inside temperature, whereas
the batteries on the vehicle will be at the outside temperature,
resulting in an undercharged situation.
Many factors come into play when deciding how often to
charge your batteries. You may use our vehicle all day on a
daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time. Other
factors such as driver and baggage weight, smooth or rough
terrain, flat areas or inclines and speed must all be considered.
With these variables you should concern yourself with two
questions:
should I charge and for
? The Charger is designed so that it is impossible to
overcharge your batteries. If you follow the guidelines below,
your batteries will provide safe and reliable operation.
