BATTERIES AND CHARGING

Your Travel Scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free.
They are recharged by the supplied off-board charging system.
 Charge your Travel Scooter's batteries for at least 8 to 14 hours prior to using it for the fi rst time.
 Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your Travel Scooter running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller
console indicates the approximate strength
of your batteries using a color code. From
right to left on the meter, green indicates
fully charged batteries, yellow a draining
charge, and red indicates that an immediate
recharge is necessary. See fi gure 13. To
ensure the highest accuracy, the battery
condition meter should be checked while
operating your Travel Scooter at full speed
on a dry, level surface.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
