Charging Instructions:
The"smart"charger"included"with"your"scooter"will"shut"off"its"high"current"
mode"when"the"scooter"is"fully"charged."When"the"light"on"the"charger"is"red,"
the"scooter"is"still"charging."When"the"light"turns"green,"this"means"the"scooter"
is"fully"charged."Once"fully"charged,"unplug"within"two"hours"to"avoid"
overcharging."
"
The"charging"time"varies"depending"on"how"charged"the"batteries"are."If"almost"
empty,"the"charge"time"may"take"up"to"8"hours."If"the"red"lights"stays"on"for"
more"than"8"hours,"unplug"the"charger."
"
Batteries and Battery Maintenance:"
Only"use"lithium"ion"batteries"for"your"scooter."Do"not"use"deep"cycle"sealed"
lead"acid"batteries."Waiting"until"the"machine"is"low"on"charger"before"
recharging"is"best"for"lithium"ion"batteries."Prematurely"charging"the"machine"
can"cause"the"battery"to"not"last"as"long"in"the"future.""

Note:"
- Do"not"use"automotive"batteries."They"are"not"designed"to"handle"and"
long"deep"discharge"and"are"unsafe"for"use"in"your"scooter."
- The"useful"life"of"a"battery"is"quite"often"a"reflection"of"the"care"it"
receives."
- Always"charge"the"batteries"in"a"well-ventilated"area."
- The"charger"is"intended"for"indoor"use"only."
- Replace"all"batteries"at"the"same"time"if"weak."
- If"the"scooter"will"not"be"used"for"an"extended"period,"arrange"to"have"the"
batteries"recharged"at"least"once"every"month"to"avoid"deterioration"of"
the"batteries.""
