FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the charger work?
When your scooter's battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the batteries
to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and less electrical current.
When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when
the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your scooter's batteries, but does not overcharge them. Refer
to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions.
Can I use a diff erent charger?
Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are especially matched to the type, size and
chemical formulation of specifi c batteries. For the safest and most effi cient charging of your scooter's batteries
we recommend only use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your product. Any charging method
resulting in batteries being charged individually is especially prohibited.
What if my scooter's batteries won't charge?
 Ensure the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals.
 Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
 Ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your scooter's batteries:
 All day scooter use on a daily basis.
 Infrequent or sporadic scooter use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your scooter's
batteries. The battery charger was designed so that it will not overcharge your scooter's batteries. However, you
may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge them
on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and charging.
 If you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you fi nish using it for the day. Your scooter will
be ready each morning. We recommend that you charge your scooter's batteries for at least 8 to 14 hours
after daily use. We recommend that you charge the batteries for an additional 4 hours after the battery charger
indicates that charging is complete.
 If you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for at least 24 hours.
NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Refer to the manual
supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions. We recommend charging your batteries for at least
48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery life.
