 Suggestion – How to maximize your batteries efficiency and service life
• Fully recharge your new battery before its first time use.
• Be sure to charge the battery fully every time. The battery life will be seriously
shortened or decayed if the battery is repeatedly used without being fully charged.
• Always complete the charging until the orange LED light turns green. NEVER stop
charging before it is complete.
• Keep your batteries fully charged whenever possible.
• If you do not use your scooter for a long time, it should be charged at least every week
to keep the battery in a fully usable condition.
• The ambient temperature will affect charging time. Charging time will be longer in the
winter.
• After charging, do not leave the charger socket plugged in to the scooter, as this will
cause a power drain on the scooter and temporarily reduce its range.
■ Cleaning the battery
If the batteries are contaminated by water, battery acid, dust or other substances, they
will discharge quickly. The batteries supplied with the scooter are sealed and as such
are maintenance free with no risk of battery leakage. Please follow the steps below to
clean the battery.
• Turn the scooter power switch to OFF.
• Follow the procedure in the next section "Replacing the Batteries".
• Use a clean cloth to wipe off the soiled area.
• Take out the battery.

wipe it clean using warm water.
