IX. BATTERIES & CHARGING
BATTERY RANGE
There are many factors that affect the range of your batteries, including the surfaces,
inclines, curves, or wind you encounter when operating your scooter. If not ideal
conditions, all of these factors will reduce the travel time or distance between
charges. Follow these suggestions for maximum range:
SUGGESTION – Fully charge the batteries prior to any trip, and plan your
trip in advance to avoid inclines.
SUGGESTION – Limit baggage and accessory weight to essential items, and
maintain an even speed avoiding stop-and-go driving.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Sealed lead acid AGM or gel-cell batteries are designed for use in scooters. These
batteries are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved. Since there is no danger
of spillage or leakage, this allows for safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and trains.
SUGGESTION – When transporting your scooter on public transportation
contact your carrier’s ticket counter in advance to determine their specific
requirements.
