5. NiMH BATTERY INFORMATION
The NiMh battery consists of cells, connected in sequence, mounted on a plastic support and wired with two
connectors: one specific for connection to the battery charger and a cable, ending with a red connector, intended for
connecting the battery to the SUEX Scooter powertrain.
A new battery will only function at full capacity after four or five full charge cycles.
Extreme temperatures can affect the charging capacity of the battery.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold environments, such as in a completely closed car in summer or winter, will reduce
the capacity and life of the battery itself. Always try to keep the batteries between 15 ° C and 25 ° C. Battery
performance is significantly reduced at temperatures below 0 ° C.
Even when not in use, a fully charged battery slowly discharges due to the self-discharge phenomenon; it is
recommended to charge the batteries within 24 hours of the last use and at least once a month and, in any case,
make sure that they never completely discharge.
When the battery performance is below 20% of normal, it needs to be replaced.
Use only batteries approved by SUEX s.r.l., charging them only with the relative approved chargers.
6. BATTERY DESCRIPTION
The NiMh BATTERY cannot be opened, it is sealed by the manufacturer and cannot be dismantled in any part. It is
a unique piece and is a spare part in its entirety.
The NiMH BATTERY is made up of 20 1.2 volt cells, connected in sequence, assembled on a plastic support, a built
in BMS electronic device manages the cells both in balancing and in protection.

8. KNOW THE BATTERY CHARGE STATUS
8.1. CHARGE INDICATOR ON BOARD THE SCOOTER
On the right side of the Scooter there are two led: one blue and one red.
The BLUE LED lights on when the Scooter switch ins in ON position –both in LOW and HI speed.
The RED LED lights on when the battery is discharged and the residual autonomy is of few minutes: about 15 minutes
in LOW speed and 10 mins in HI speed with a brand new battery pack.
Note the following:
•The charge indicator on the Scooter (or its display on an external device) provides an approximate indication of
the BATTERY charge status. Depending on the general condition of the BATTERY and its use, the various
elements that indicate the state of charge during use may not accurately reflect the residual state of charge of
the BATTERY.
•The indication of the state of charge is a relative indication, that is referring to the actual condition of the
BATTERY and not to that of a new battery (at maximum efficiency).
•The BATTERY is subject to a natural decrease in its capacity over time due to various factors including the main
ones being age, how to use it and environmental conditions.
•Particularly heavy use or, on the other hand, too mild (with a few complete charge / discharge cycles), particular
environmental factors and battery damage can lead to:
- early decay of its effective capacity
- the reduction of its delivery duration for use
- falsified readings of the state of charge.
The same BATTERY in different environmental situations could therefore show different delivery durations.
It is therefore important to charge the BATTERY 100% before each dive, that is, charge it, until the charger marks
the end of the charge.
The BATTERY is marked with a serial number and with the certification code,
marked on the top cover of the battery (see Fig. under).
In case of need, the number shown must be mentioned for requests for assistance
or for the supply of spare parts.

Rev.00 –29/12/2020
Pag. 6/16
Code: 71082
Do not use the charge indicator as a tool to program the dive or the duration of the dive during its course, but program
the dive with the usual safety parameters.
NOTE: SUEX s.r.l. declines any responsibility for the failure or incorrect evaluation of the residual battery
charge that has led to incorrect assessments regarding the autonomy of the Scooter.
8.2. BLUETOOTH CHANNEL
On board the Scooter there are Bluetooth devices through which information about the engine can be obtained.
These features are active only out of the water and require the use of the Calypso application available on Google
Play and the App Store.
To activate the Bluetooth make sure that the battery is connected to the engine and turn on the scooter.
Once the BT devices are active, the application is ready to read the data.
At the first connection, the application will request the pairing of the devices to the smartphone.
The engine will have an identifier of this type: AAxxxxxxxxxx.
For the next steps, follow the application instructions.
The acceleration ramp of the Scooter is also adjustable through the same application.
9. BATTERY CHARGE
9.1. HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
To charge, place the BATTERY in a safe place away from people and flammable objects and proceed as described
below.
USE ONLY THE APPROPRIATE BATTERY CHARGER
The battery should ONLY be recharged using the specific battery charger supplied (code 71083).
When the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the wall outlet and put it in its case.
CHARGE PROCEDURE
Carefully read the battery charger instructions manual.
Charge the battery before each use, allowing it to cool before inserting it into the Scooter; during this phase the
battery could release hydrogen which would inevitably accumulate inside the airtight scooter.
The accumulation of hydrogen (in special conditions) could cause accidents, with injuries to people and things.
Extreme temperatures can affect the battery's charging capacity.

Rev.00 –29/12/2020
Pag. 7/16
Code: 71082
Leaving the battery in hot or cold climates, such as a closed car in mid-summer or mid-winter, reduces battery
capacity and life. Always try to keep the batteries between 15 ° C (59 ° F) and 25 ° C (77 ° F). Battery performance
is significantly reduced in temperatures below 0 ° C (32 ° F).
Charging must take place in an appropriate place: covered and ventilated, away from flammable objects or liquids,
away from crowded rooms:
1. Remove the battery from the Scooter. When the battery is removed, disconnect the red connector;
2. The battery must be connected to the charger by means of the appropriate connector (26).
THE BATTERY SHOULD BE CHARGED ONLY THROUGH THE CONNECTOR (26),
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO USE THE CONNECTION (RED) CONNECTOR TO THE
MOTOR: DANGER OF FIRE, EXPLOSION, SERIOUS DAMAGE OR DEATH.
Unscrew the plug of the charging connector (24) (fig.1);
Connect the charging connector (26) to the charger (see charger instructions);
Connect the power supply socket of the battery charger to the mains;
Do not connect any other device to the battery while charging;
During charging, the battery should be kept outside the Scooter (the battery must, in fact, be inserted and connected
to the motor only immediately before use and removed from the Scooter immediately after use);
If, however, the battery should be recharged from inside the Scooter it must first be disconnected from the motor (by
disconnecting the red connector) and it must be taken into account that the charging phase naturally determines a
certain development of heat: it must be taken care of perform the operation to make sure that the temperature and
ventilation conditions are such as to effectively dispose of the heat produced and avoid the abnormal overheating of
the battery;
Once charging is complete, disconnect (in order) the charger from its main power source and battery;
Once charging is complete, NEVER leave the charger connected to the BATTERY;
After charging, allow the battery to cool down before inserting it into the Scooter.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IDEAL FOR CHARGING
The charging temperature range is 0 ° C + 36 ° C. The ideal battery temperature at the start of the charging phase is
20 ° C.
9.2. WHEN CHARGE THE BATTERY
Fully recharge the BATTERY:
•BEFORE EACH USE taking care to let the BATTERY cool before inserting it into the Scooter;
•At least once every two months;
•When the RED LED lights up (the charge level is less than 20%).
9.3. NEW BATTERY, FIRST USE
A new battery operates at full capacity only after a few complete charging cycles (4-5): this for reasons related to the
activation of internal chemistry.
10. IMPORTANT WARNINGS ON THE BATTERY LIFE
BATTERY life (i.e. the total amount of energy that it can supply to the user device after a full charge) is a feature that
depends on numerous factors including environmental conditions, how it is used, how to charge and discharge.
NEVER stop charging the battery: partial charges damage the battery and reduce
the autonomy of the battery itself!
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Excessive discharge can irreparably damage the battery.

Rev.00 –29/12/2020
Pag. 8/16
Code: 71082
To counteract the natural progressive - normally very slow - decay over time of the battery life, the user must keep
in mind that:
•Extreme temperatures can affect battery capacity and charging efficiency.
•Batteries must be stored at a temperature between 15 ° C and 36 ° C (the ideal temperature is around 20 ° C):
conditions other than those described above can affect the effectiveness of the recharge as well as the number
of possible recharges.
•Leaving (and storing) the BATTERY in a hot (> 36 ° C) or cold (<15 ° C) environment reduces the battery capacity
and its life span.
•If during the use of the Scooter you notice a significant drop in distributed power, immediately stop use and turn
it off using the switch.
The state of efficiency of the BATTERY, as regards the duration of delivery, must be periodically checked: batteries
that show a 20% reduction compared to the condition at the beginning of their life must be replaced and disposed of
in the manner provided (see Cap. "Disposal").
An indication of the current state of efficiency of the battery is the "burn-test" test (see User manual Burn - test).
Refer to the scooter user manual.
11. IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR BATTERY OPERATION AND DISCHARGE
It is recommended to use the BATTERY at a temperature between 15 ° C and 36 ° C.
To avoid rapid deterioration, the BATTERY must NEVER be completely discharged under any circumstances: the
cut-off device is present in to the BATTERY (see chapter "In the event of cut-off intervention").
12. CUT-OFF
NiMh BATTERY PACK integrates the following electronic devices / systems with the function of managing the safety
of the cells that make up the BATTERY.
Particular attention must be paid to the presence of the cut-off system as its intervention determines the supply of
energy to the Scooter and this occurs suddenly.
The non-operating condition imposed by the cut-off system is temporary and normal operation is restored after having
recharged the BATTERY using the special charger. The cut-of intervention is to be considered the electronic
BATTERY protection system against accidental total discharge, it is located inside the BATTERY and is connected
in series between the BATTERY and the Scooter motor.
The function is to prevent the excessive discharge of the cells with the possible danger of reversing the polarity of
one or more cells, with consequent possible destruction of the BATTERY pack with the potential to create even very
serious damage to things and / or people.
During the discharge of the batteries, the voltage drops until it reaches a limit value at which point the cut-off prevents,
by interrupting the power supply, the BATTERY can be discharged further.
When the cut-off intervenes, the battery no longer supplies voltage to the connector.
To restore the situation of use of the battery, it is necessary to recharge it only by means of the special battery charger
(see user manual of the battery charger) and restore the circuit.
The cut off intervention is to be considered exceptional and this event should not occur during normal use of the
battery, as the correct use of the vehicle does not require excessive discharge of the same.
•Emergency thermostat: intervenes during the charging phase in the event of a BATTERY charger failure which
could lead to battery overcharging. It prevents the BATTERY from overheating by cutting off the charging current.
•Cut - off: intervenes in case of attempt to overdischarge. It eliminates the electrical absorption by interrupting the
supply of current to the user device, it is restored by recharging the BATTERY.
•Overcharge protection: during the charging phase it prevents the circumstance that the charger does not
automatically interrupt the charging period.
•Short circuit protection: each cell inside the battery pack is individually protected electronically against accidental
short circuits, in any case DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT COULD DAMAGE THIS
SYSTEM IRREPARABLY and the BATTERY should be replaced.
12.1. IN THE EVENT OF CUT-OFF INTERVENTION
In case of intervention of the cut-off system, proceed as follows:
•Follow the procedure for opening the scooter;
•Disconnect the battery motor power connector;
IMPORTANT NOTE!
After using the Scooter, always cut off the power supply to the motor by using the
Scooter main switch: the electronic control of the Scooter motor board, even with
the engine not running, has a very low energy consumption which, in the long
term, can lead to complete discharge of the BATTERY, with possible irreversible
damage of the BATTERY PACK.

Rev.00 –29/12/2020
Pag. 9/16
Code: 71082
•Remove the battery from the Scooter;
•Leave the battery to rest for at least 2 hours: this is the minimum time necessary, in this case, to allow the battery
to cool down and return to the waiting state for charging;
•Connect the battery charging connector to the battery charger;
•Proceed with charging, following the instructions in the battery charger user manual.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Remember that when the cut off device intervenes, the Scooter inevitably stops
working.
This event must in no way be a source of danger for the diver, who will have
planned the diving activity taking into account that the use of the Scooter cannot
be considered as a system to safeguard one's life or to get out of situations. of
difficulty.
SUEX s.r.l. declines all responsibility following the intervention of the cut off system, in any situation, in
dangerous situations or in dives where the diver has (at his complete risk) entrusted his return to the surface
to the Suex Scooter.
Please note that the Scooter must be considered as an aid to diving and not as a means of rescue.
13. BASIC RULES FOR SAFETY

18. NiMH BATTERY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESIONS
ANSWERS
I often use the DPV, twice a week or every day, but I
never fully deplete the battery since I make short dives.
Should I remove the battery after every use and charge
it?
The battery should be disconnected and removed after
every use, if possible, charge when the charge level is
almost depleted, otherwise, charge after every use.The
battery should be kept separate from the DPV and
inserted and connected to the motor only immediately
prior to use. It should be disconnected and removed
immediately after use.
Can I leave the battery connected to the battery charger
for a long period of time?
It is always best to disconnect them as soon as charging
is finished.
I dropped the battery. The external envelope is dented.
Can I still use it?
NiMh cells are extremely delicate. NEVER use a battery
that has fallen on the ground since some connections
could be damaged. Send the battery to customer
service who will check for damage and repair the battery
if necessary.
Is battery heating normal when charging?
Yes. Given that a battery should always be charged at
room temperature between 15°C and 26°C, the
battery's temperature may rise during charge.
Is battery heating normal when outputting?
Yes. As with charging, battery output slightly raises
battery temperature, therefore, the same conditions
apply as above.
How long does a NiMh battery last if not used?
This depends on many factors: use, temperature,
maintenance, etc. Usually a battery charged at least
once every two months and never fully depleted can last
several years but capacity will reduce over time.
When the battery is dead, what should I do with it?
The battery should be disposed of in a specific depleted
battery recycling center. There are specific collection
centers in every city.
I left the battery on the boat and sea elements rusted
the silver-plated connector contacts. What should I do?
All electrical contacts inside the DPV battery case
should be without damage or corrosion to avoid the
potential for short circuit or failure.The connector should
be replaced (see SUEX customer service).
I pulled the battery wires by mistake and damaged the
insulation. Do I have to replace them or can I insulate
them with tape?
A wiring short circuit could result in battery damage,
vehicle damage or injury so repair as soon as possible
(see SUEX customer service).
When I have to charge the battery, can I leave the red
connector attached to the DPV engine?
No! The battery must be detached from the motor and
charged in all cases.
I noticed the battery leaks liquid, can I still use the
battery?
No! Do not use the battery. It is hazardous to people and
property!

with the company’s role being that of an ‘article producer’ and its manufactured products being considered as ‘articles’
defined under REACH regulation Article 3.
SUEX has contacted its supplies and confirms that to the best of its knowledge and belief all necessary registration
of any in-scope substances on the REACH SVHC Candidate List 1 have been undertaken by them.
Registration is required for companies that either produce or import into the EU any substance in volumes that exceed
one tonne per substance per year. SUEX does exceed these amounts and is not required to register.
SVHC materials Lead (CAS No 7439-92-1) is used in the manufacture of ballast elements in concentration levels
greater than the specified limit of 0.1% (weight by weight). Ballast elements using these substances are encased
and are considered out of the scope of the restriction due to non-mouthability/non reachability under normal or
reasonably foreseeable condition of use as defined by the REACH regulation and existing guidance.
Articles that contain these substances in greater than 0.1% concentrations are RoHS compliant using exemptions
from RoHS regulations under Annex IV, items 13 of the directive, which specifies:
Lead in counterweights
SUEX should be contacted if further SVHC information for purchased products is required.

5. INFORMAZIONI GENERALI SULLE BATTERIA NiMH
La batteria al NiMh è costituita da celle, collegate in sequenza, montate su un supporto in plastica e cablate con
due connettori: uno specifico per il collegamento al carica-batterie ed un cavo, terminante con un connettore rosso,
destinato al collegamento della batteria al gruppo propulsore dello Scooter SUEX.
Una batteria nuova funzionerà a piena capacità solo dopo quattro o cinque cicli di carica completi.
Temperature estreme possono incidere sulla capacità di carica della batteria.
Lasciare la batteria in ambienti caldi o freddi, come ad esempio in un’auto completamente chiusa in piena estate o
inverno, ridurrà la capacità e la durata della batteria stessa. Cercare sempre di tenere le batterie ad una
temperatura compresa tra 15° C e 25° C. Il rendimento delle batterie è notevolmente ridotto a temperature inferiori
a 0° C.
Anche quando non viene utilizzata, una batteria completamente carica si scarica lentamente a causa del fenomeno
di autoscarica; si consiglia di caricare le batterie entro 24 ore dall'ultimo utilizzo e almeno una volta al mese e, in
ogni caso, accertarsi che non si scarichi mai completamente.
Quando le prestazioni della batteria sono inferiori al 20% del normale, è necessario sostituirla.
Utilizzare solo batterie approvate da SUEX s.r.l., caricandole esclusivamente con i relativi caricabatterie approvati.
6. DESCRIZIONE DELLA BATTERIA
La BATTERIA NiMh non è apribile: è sigillata dal produttore e non può essere smontata in alcuna sua parte. Essa
è un pezzo unico ed è un ricambio per intero.
La BATTERIA NiMH è realizzata tramite il collegamento di 20 celle da 1.2 volt montate su un supporto di plastica,
un dispositivo elettronico BMS provvede alla gestione delle celle sia in bilanciamento che in protezione.
Fig.1
I principali componenti della batteria sono (fig.1):
•Batteria (14),
•Connettore del caricabatterie (24),
•Presa di carica della batteria (26).
La BATTERIA è contrassegnata da un numero di serie e dal codice di
certificazione, marcati sul coperchio superiore della batteria. Qui di seguito in
figura un esempio di identificazione.
In caso di necessità, per richiesta di intervento di assistenza o per la fornitura di
ricambi, deve essere citato il numero riportato.
