Answers to frequently asked questions
① How does the charger work?
When the battery voltage of the travel scooter becomes low, the charger works better, for
it transmits more current to the battery, so as to increase the electric charge of the tram. When
the battery is going to be fully charged, the charger gradually reduces the transmission of
current. After the battery is fully charged, the current transmitted by the charger is close to
0A. Therefore, after inserting the charger, the charger may maintain the electric charge
within the battery of the travel scooter, but it won't conduct excessive charging to the battery.
As to the charging instructions, please refer to the instructions of battery charger provided
along with the battery charger.
② Can I use other chargers?
According to specific applications, we provide the charger with accurately matched
battery type, capacity and chemical nature. In order to ensure the safest and the most
effective charging to the battery of the travel

- 14 -
scooter, we suggest that you should use the original charger provided by us along with the
product. Forbid using any recharging method of independently recharging each battery.
③ If the battery of the travel scooter cannot be charged, what to do?
※ Please ensure that the fuse on the battery pack is at the work status. Refer to Figure 3.
※ Please completely insert both sides of the charger power wire to the connected jack or
socket.
④ How often is the battery charged for once?
To judge how often the battery of the travel scooter should be charged, two main factors
need to be considered:
※ It is used every day all day long.
※ It is used sometimes or from time to time.
By considering these factors, you may judge how often the battery of the travel scooter
should be charged for once and how long each charging shall last. The battery charger is
designed not to excessively charge the battery of the travel scooter. Even so, if the battery is
not frequently charged or not regularly charged, you may also meet some problems. To abide
by the following instructions may help you realize safe and reliable battery operation and
charging:
※ If you use the travel scooter every day, please immediately charge the
battery after using it every day. In this case, your travel scooter will be fully charged every
morning. We suggest that you should charge the battery for at least 8-12 hours after using
the travel scooter every day. You are suggested to continue to charge the battery for four
hours after the battery charger shows that charging has been finished.
※ If you use the travel scooter once a week or less frequently, please charge
the battery at least for once per week, and at least 12 hours per time.
Attention: Please maintain the battery fully charged and avoid in-depth
discharge of the battery. As to the charging instructions, please
refer to the instructions of battery charger provided along with the battery charger.
If you use the scooter for only once or less frequently

- 15 -
one month, please continuously charge the battery for at least 12 hours, so as to
maintain and improve the performance, and prolong the battery life.
⑤ How to maximize the extension of battery life?
Charge the deep cycle battery fully can make the battery play a reliable performance and
prolong its life. Please keep the battery of the travel scooter in a state of being fully charged
as much as possible. It is also necessary for you to keep the travel scooter and its battery far
away from the extremely cold or hot environment. The battery may be permanently
damaged, in unreliable performance and be shortened in its service life, if the battery is
always in a deep discharge state, not often charged and stored in extreme temperatures or
stored not in the state of being fully charged.
Attention: Please turn off the travel scooter and remove the key when you don't
use it in order to extend the battery's life.
⑥ How to achieve the maximum mileage or distance of a single charge?
It's hard for you to obtain ideal driving conditions smooth, flat, hard,
not winding and straight pavements. Generally, you may meet with hillside, cracked
pavements and uneven, loose, winding and curved roads, all of which may influence the
maximum driving mileage of a single charge.
※Please charge the battery fully firstly when you use the travel scooter every
day.
※ Plan the driving route in advance and steer clear of hillside and cracked, damaged and
soft pavements as far as possible.
※Control the luggage weight and only carry essential items.
※ Try to maintain a constant speed in the operational process of the travel scooter.
※Avoid the conditions of moving and stopping the scooter suddenly.
※ If the scooter is used only once or less within one month, it is suggested that the battery
shall be charged continuously for at least 12 hours in order to maintain and improve the
battery's performance and extend its life.

- 16 -
※Make sure that all wire harness has been fixed properly.
⑦Which type and capacity of the battery should I use?
Your travel scooter needs two cycling batteries. We suggest you use the sealed
maintenance-free battery, such as AGM battery or gel battery. Please do not use the wet
battery with a removable protective cover. The capacities of the batteries of different
manufacturers are different, please refer to the product specifications table.
Warning! Batteries contain corrosive chemicals. Please use AGM battery or gel
battery in order to reduce the risk of battery leakage and
explosion.
Attention: Sealed battery can not be repaired by users. Please do not remove the
protective cover of the battery.
⑧ Why does the new battery seem to be in poor performance?
The chemical technology adopted by deep cycle batteries is different to that of
automotive batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries and other ordinary batteries. Deep cycle
battery is specially used to supply power and let out electric charge, then it can be charged
quickly (8 to 14 hours).
We are in close coordination with the battery manufacturers and strive to provide the
most suitable battery that meet the power demands of certain travel scooter. New battery is
fully charged before delivery to customer. New battery may encounter extreme temperatures
in transit, which will affect its initial performance. High temperature can reduce the electric
charge of the battery. Low temperature can reduce the available power of the battery and
extend charging time at the same time. It may take a couple of days for the battery
temperature in a travel scooter to be stabilized and adapt to new temperature or ambient
temperature. More importantly, it needs several charging periods (partially discharged after
being fully charged) to establish the vital chemical equilibrium, which is essential to
maintain the best performance and longest life of the battery.

- 17 -
⑨ The following steps contribute to adjusting the battery in the travel scooter to its
maximum efficiency and service life.
1.
Please make the new battery fully charged before it is used for the first time. The first
charging period can make the performance of the new battery reach about 88% of its
maximum performance.
2.
Operate the travel scooter in the familiar and safe area. Please drive slowly at first and
do not drive far away from your home or other familiar environment before you adapt to the
operating methods of the travel scooter and adjust well the battery in the travel scooter.
3.
Make the battery fully charged once again. This charging period can make the
performance of the new battery reach above 90% of its maximum performance.
4.
Operate the travel scooter again and then make the battery fully charged all over again.
5.
The electric charge received by the battery can reach 100% of its maximum performance
after 4-5 charging periods, and the service time of one single charge is relatively extended.
(10) Public transport methods can be used or not?
If you intend to transport the travel scooter with public transport methods, please consult
the public transport providers of its special requirements.
