Charging the batteries

For charging, see the following documentation:
•
Regulations concerning the batteries.
•
User manual for the battery charger, or the instructions on the battery
charger.
The scooter has 'dry' gel batteries. These dry batteries (dry-fit) are entirely sealed and
maintenance free.
With normal use, the batteries should be recharged every night.
Charging should be done as follows:
•
Switch off the scooter.
•
Put the plug of the charging cable into the charging connection. See 'Charging
connection'.
•
Put the plug of the battery charger into the wall socket of the mains power supply.
•
Switch on the battery charger.
Safety:
The operation of the scooter is switched off as soon as the plug of the
charging cable is connected to the charging connection.
•
The battery charger has been designed in such a way that
batteries cannot be overcharged.
•
When the batteries are no longer charging, the charging current
will automatically drop until the charging is stopped completely:
the batteries are fully charged.
•
The minimum charging time for dry batteries is approximately 12
hours. Most batteries will have reached 80% of their capacity
after an 8-hours' charging time.
When the batteries are charged:
•
Take the plug from the charging connection.
•
Switch off the battery charger.
