III. BATTERIES AND CHARGING

BATTERIES AND CHARGING

Your Travel Scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free.

They are recharged by the supplied off-board charging system.

 Charge your Travel Scooter’s batteries for at least 8 to 14 hours prior to using it for the ﬁ rst time.

 Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your Travel Scooter running smoothly.

READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE

The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a

color code. From right to left on the meter, green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and

red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See ﬁ gure 17. To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery

condition meter should be checked while operating your Travel Scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface.

NOTE: Ambient Meter (Battery Condition Meter 1c) adjusts brightness based on environmental lighting.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES

NOTE: With some models, the battery pack can be charged on or off

the Travel Scooter. See Travel Scooter Features Table.

NOTE: Models 66 and 67, both battery boxes can be removed from the

scooter and then attached together for easy charging. See Figure 18.

PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create

electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an

approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet

having 2-pronged plug access.

PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in

your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a

properly wired standard electrical outlet.

PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to

play near the Travel Scooter while the batteries are

charging. We recommend that you do not charge the

batteries while the Travel Scooter is occupied.

MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions

in this manual and in the manual supplied with the

III. BATTERIES AND CHARGING

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the charger work?

When your Travel Scooter’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current

to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and less

electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly zero amperage.

Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your Travel Scooter’s batteries, but does not

overcharge them. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions.

Can I use a different charger?

Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are especially matched to the type, size, and

chemical formulation of speciﬁ c batteries. For the safest and most efﬁ cient charging of your Travel Scooter’s

batteries, we recommend use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your product only. Any charging

method resulting in batteries being charged individually is especially prohibited.

What if my Travel Scooter’s batteries will not charge?

 Ensure that the fuse on the battery pack is in working condition. See ﬁ gures 9 and 10.

 Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.

How often must I charge the batteries?

Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your Travel Scooter’s batteries:

 All day use on a daily basis.

 Infrequent or sporadic use.

With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your Travel

Scooter’s batteries. The battery charger was designed so that it will not overcharge your Travel Scooter’s batteries.

However, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not

charge them on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation

and charging.

 If you use your Travel Scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you ﬁ nish using it for the day. Your Travel

Scooter will be ready each morning. We recommend that you charge your Travel Scooter’s batteries for at

least 8 to 14 hours after daily use. We recommend that you charge the batteries for an additional 4 hours after

the battery charger indicates that charging is complete.

 If you use your Travel Scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for at least 24 hours.

NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Refer to the manual

supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions. We recommend charging your batteries for at least

48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery life.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?

Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your Travel

Scooter’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Protect your Travel Scooter and batteries from extreme heat

or cold. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or

stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.

NOTE: To extend battery life, always turn off Travel Scooter and remove the key when not in use.

How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?

Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions—smooth, ﬂ at, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. Often,

you will face hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of which affect the

distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per

III. BATTERIES AND CHARGING

 Always fully charge your Travel Scooter’s batteries prior to daily use.

 Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.

 Limit your baggage weight to essential items.

 Try to maintain an even speed while your Travel Scooter is in motion.

 Avoid stop-and-go driving.

 We recommend charging your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery

performance and battery life.

 Make sure all harness connections are secured properly.

What type and size of battery should I use?

Your Travel Scooter requires two deep-cycle batteries. We recommend only sealed, maintenance-free types such

as AGM or Gel-Cell. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps. Refer to the speciﬁ cations table

for size as batteries differ depending on manufacturer.

WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell

batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.

NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.

Why do my new batteries seem weak?

Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium

batteries (nicads), and other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are speciﬁ cally designed to provide

power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge (8 to 14 hours).

We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your Travel Scooter’s speciﬁ c

electrical demands. Fresh batteries are shipped fully charged to our customers. During shipping, the batteries may

encounter temperature extremes that can inﬂ uence their initial performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the

battery; cold slows the available power and extends the time needed to recharge the battery.

It may take a few days for the temperature of your Travel Scooter’s batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new

room or ambient temperature. More importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (partial draining followed by full

recharging) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak performance

and long life.

Follow these steps to properly break in your Travel Scooter’s new batteries for maximum efﬁ ciency and

service life.

1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88%

of its peak performance level.

2. Operate your new Travel Scooter in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at ﬁ rst, and do not travel too far from

your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your Travel Scooter’s controls and

have properly broken in your Travel Scooter’s batteries.

3. Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.

4. Operate your Travel Scooter again, then fully recharge the batteries.

5. After four or ﬁ ve charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance

level and are able to last for an extended period of time.

What about public transportation?

AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in scooters and other mobility vehicles. These batteries

are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved (United States only), allowing safe transportation on aircraft,

buses, and trains, as there is no danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the carrier’s ticket counter

in advance to determine that carrier’s speciﬁ c requirements.
