13.Battery and Charging Information

General information

Batteries are the power source for almost all of the modern mobility

products available today. The design of batteries used in mobility products

is significantly different from the batteries used to start a car for example.

Car batteries are designed to release a large amount of power over a

short period of time, whilst mobility batteries (commonly called deep cycle

batteries) release their power evenly over a long period of time. Therefore,

due to the lower production volumes and increased technological

requirements, mobility batteries are typically more expensive. Commonly

two 12 volt batteries are used together in a mobility product giving a total

voltage of 24 volts. The size of the battery (e.g. its available power) is

expressed in amps per hour (e.g. 10amp/hr). The higher the number, the

bigger the battery size, weight and, potentially, the greater the distance

you can travel.

Batteries

Your scooter is fitted with batteries that require no maintenance, other

than regular charging.

If a battery is physically damaged, please use extreme caution when

handling it.

Beware! Battery fluids are corrosive and care should be taken at all times

to avoid contact with it. If it comes into contact with the skin or clothing,

wash immediately with soap and water. If it comes into contact with the

eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least 10

minutes and seek medical attention.

In such an event, call your local dealer for assistance.

Please do not dispose of batteries in normal waste, always recycle in

accordance with local laws.

Maintenance free

This is the type of battery used in the battery pack. It uses GEL electrolyte

which is totally sealed within the battery’s outer case. As the name implies,

no maintenance is required other than regular charging. As the battery

case is sealed, you can safely transport this type of battery without fear of

acid spilling. Furthermore, they are approved for transportation on aircraft,

boats and trains.
