Battery Care - SXT-Scooters COMPACT H300 Bedienungsanleitung

Keep Your Motor Cool.
The most common method of damaging the unit is by over heating the motor. Motors can be over worked and eventually this will
burn out the brush card inside the motor. Replacing a brush card is simple and straight forward but can be avoided. Avoid frequent
accelerations, burnouts, towing heavy loads, long steep hill climbs, and the likes that require the motor to work harder. If you have
been working the motor hard, reach down and carefully feel the temperature of it. The best place is at one of the 2 power terminals
and if it is too hot to hold your hand/finger against then stop riding and give it a chance to cool down before continuing. These
heavy loads also exert huge power draws from the batteries that drastically shorten your usable range and battery life. With that in
mind, get into the practice of pushing off with the unit from a standing start to get some forward momentum before applying the
throttle. A simple push off from all your dead stops can squeeze out another mile or more range as well as reduce the load and
heat on the motor. In addition, keeping your speed relatively constant will also help maximizes available range.
Don't get dragged down
Brakes and chain should not be dragging or preventing the wheel from spinning freely. There is a small amount of natural drag
created by the drive components but making sure they are in working order, properly lubricated, adjusted, and in alignment, will
help ensure you are not losing any performance.
Rolling
Make sure you have the proper pressure in the tires. There is a PSI tire pressure rating on the side wall on the tire and you should
try to keep your tires at that pressure at all times. We have found it is safe to go as high as 10 PSI above the rating on the sidewall.
This will further reduce the rolling resistance of the tires and increase the usable range, acceleration, and speed.

Battery Care

Letting the batteries sit in the unit with a depleted charge is harsh on the chemistry that makes them functional and will greatly
reduce their usable life. So, it is best to get in the practice of keeping them charged whenever possible.
Charge For Storage.
Do not leave unit on a charge for more then 1 week. Any longer and over charging can end up damaging the batteries or even
create an potential fire hazard. If you plan to store the unit for more than a week you should first charge the unit fully then discon-
nect the charger to store and put the unit on a charge for a few hours once a month to insure the batteries stay "topped off".
Riding surfaces to avoid
Your unit incorporates some very sophisticated and sensitive electronic components that do not like heavy vibrations or shock
loads that is typically associated with riding on an unpaved/uneven surface or hopping down street curbing. The occasional
unavoidable bumps are OK but try to avoid rough terrain whenever possible.
Weather Conditions to Avoid:
Although some water resistance measures have been made, your Electric Vehicle is not completely sealed from the elements so
driving the unit through standing water, wet or muddy conditions runs the risk of severely damaging it. The ideal solution to riding
any 2-wheel vehicle in wet/muddy conditions is to just not do it.
Clean is good.
This does not mean you cannot wash or clean your unit. They like being shiny and clean as it helps prevent dirt from getting into
the electronics. Therefore, when it is time to get the sparkle back in your unit you can do so with a mild soapy damp dish-towel
and wipe it down. Just avoid heavy amounts of water that can end up finding its way to any of the electronics.
