• Position the scooter near a normal electrical socket on the wall.
• Remove the key to switch off the scooter.
• Rotate the battery charger compartment cover.
• Insert the XLR connector of the battery charger in the battery charger port.
• Insert the other end of the power cable in the wall socket.
• The LED on the battery charger will be YELLOW during charging.
• The LED on the battery charger will be GREEN when charging is complete.
• The battery capacity is displayed when charging is complete.
• Only disconnect the battery charger cable from the wall socket when the batteries are
completely charged.
Only charge the batteries with the key in the OFF position (switched off).

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Continuous cycle GEL or AGM and SLA batteries are used for the scooters.
• These batteries do not require maintenance;
• There is no risk of leakage or spills, so these batteries can be transported safely on aircraft,
buses, trains, etc.;
• The battery lifetime should be prolonged if you follow the procedures indicated in this manual.
Note: Do not use car batteries on this scooter, as they are not designed to be totally discharged
and are not safe for use on a scooter. A battery's lifetime often depends on its care.
IF THE BATTERY TERMINALS ARE CORRODED
• Corrosion can cause a poor electrical connection or operating problems;
• Clean corroded batteries with a stiff brush and a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and water.

17.6 Charging the battery

The battery charger functions at the normal voltage of a socket (alternating current) and
converts it into V DC (direct current). The batteries use direct current to operate the scooter.
When the batteries are completely charged, the amperage of the battery charger is almost at
zero. This allows the battery charger to maintain the charge but not overcharge the battery.
Notes:
• The batteries cannot be charged if they have discharged almost to zero voltage.
• Always charge the batteries in a well-ventilated place.
• The battery charger is only for internal use. Protect it against humidity.
• To obtain maximum performance, it is recommended to replace both batteries
simultaneously when they are discharged.
• All batteries slowly lose their energy charge if they are not used for long periods.
After 3 months of non-use, a loss of charge of approximately 10% can occur.
