Battery and Charger, Frequently Asked Questions How does the charger work?
When the battery level is low, the charger works transmits more current more
rapidly to the battery to quickly increase the electric charge. When the
battery near its full charge, the charger gradually reduces the transmission
of current. When the battery is fully charged, the current transmitted by the
charger is close to 0 amps. The charger should maintain the full electric
charge within the battery, without excessively charging the battery. For
complete charging instructions, please refer to the instruction manual
provided with the battery charger.
19
4. Battery and Charger
Can I use other chargers?
We have provided you with the charger that accurately matches your battery
type, capacity and chemical nature. In order to ensure the safest and the most
effective charging of the battery, we suggest that you use only the original
charger we provided. DO NOT use any other chargers or charging methods to
recharge the battery.
If the battery of the travel scooter cannot be charged. * Please ensure that
the fuse on the battery pack is working. (Picture 7). – Please make sure the
charger wire is correctly inserted into the battery charge port and that the
charger is correctly inserted into a functioning wall socket.
How often is the battery charged for once?
To judge how often the battery of the travel scooter should be charged, two
main factors need to be considered: How often is it used? If used daily,
charge the unit immediately after each use to maintain proper battery life. We
recommend that you charge the battery between 8-12 hours after each daily use.
If you charge the battery overnight, you should have a fully charged battery
each morning. If you use the scooter once per week or less frequently, you can
charge the battery once per week for at least 12 hours. If not in regular use,
please make sure the battery is near full and not stored with the battery on
empty.
Please keep the battery fully charged and avoid in-depth dicharge of the
battery. As to the charging instructions, please refer to the instructions of
battery charger provided along with the battery charger. If you are using the
scooter less frequently, continue to charge the battery bi-monthly for at
least 12 hours each time to maintain the battery life and performance.
20
4. Battery and Charger
How to maximize the battery life?
Deep cycle battery charging can prolong the battery life and increase the
battery performance. To ensure battery life and performance, keep the battery
fully charged as much as possible and keep the battery away from extremely hot
or cold environments. If the battery is left in a discharged state or left in
extreme temperatures, it might be permanently damaged and become unreliable.
Please turn off the travel scooter and remove the key when you are not using
it in order to extend the battery life.
How to achieve the maximum mileage or distance of a single charge?
Maximum mileage is generally achieved under ideal conditions such as riding on
smooth, flat or hard surfaces. Riding on hills, cracked pavement, uneven
surfaces, dirt, sand, and winding roads, will influence the maximum driving
mileage of the scooter. – Please fully charge the battery each day if you use
the travel scooter daily. – Control the luggage weight and only carry
essential items. – Try to maintain a constant speed in the operational process
of the travel scooter. – Avoid the conditions of moving and stopping the
scooter suddenly. – If the scooter is used only once in a month or less, it is
suggested that the battery be charged continuously twice per month for at
least 12 hours in order to maintain the battery performance. – Make sure that
all wire harness has been fixed properly.
21
4. Battery and Charger
Which type and capacity of the battery should I use?
Your travel scooter needs two cycling batteries. We suggest you use the sealed
maintenance-free battery, such as AGM battery or gel battery. Please do not
wet the battery or remove the protective cover. The capacities of the
batteries of different manufacturers are different, please refer to the
product specifications table.
Batteries contain corrosive chemicals. Please use AGM battery or gel battery
in order to reduce the risk of battery leak age and explosion. Sealed battery
cannot be repaired by users. Please do not remove the protective cover of the
battery.
Why does the new battery seem to be in poor performance?
– The chemical technology adopted by deep cycle batteries is different to that
of automotive batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, or other ordinary
batteries. Deep cycle batteries need to let out an electric charge, then
recharged immediately afterwards (8 to 14 hours). – We are in close
coordination with the battery manufacturers and strive to provide the most
suitable battery that meet the power demands of certain travel scooter. Your
new battery is fully charged before delivery to customer. New batteries may
encounter extreme temperatures in transit, which will affect its initial
performance. High temperatures can reduce the electric charge of the battery.
Low temperature can reduce the available power of the battery and extend
charging time at the same time. It may take a couple of days for the battery
temperature in a travel scooter to be stabilized and adapt to its new
temperature or ambient temperature. More importantly, it needs several
charging periods (partially discharged after being fully charged) to establish
the vital chemical equilibrium, which is essential to maintain the best
performance and longest life of the battery.

Public transport?
If you intend to transport the travel scooter within a public transport
vehicle, please consult the public transport providers about any special
requirements.
How to replace the battery in the travel scooter?
- Battery post, battery terminal and relevant parts all contain lead and lead compound. Please wear protective goggles and gloves when handling the battery and wash your hands after the completion of the process. The type, chemical property and ampere-hour (Ah) of the two batteries must be exactly the same. As for the suggested battery type and capacity, please refer to the product specification insert and relevant insert of the battery charger instructions. Please do not mix the old and new batteries for use simultaneously. Two batteries must be replaced simultaneously. If you have any questions about the battery of the travel scooter, please consult the supplier. Warning! The battery of the travel scooter must be maintained or replaced by the authorized suppliers or qualified technicians. Forbidden! Tools and other metal items must stay far away from the battery terminals as it may lead to electric shock if touched by the battery terminals.

7. Maintenance
Outer surface The occasional use of rubber or plastic care agent is beneficial
for bumpers, tires and trim panels.
No rubber or plastic care agent should be used on the seat and tread of the
travel scooter. Otherwise, the seat and tread will become smooth and unsafe.
Cleaning and disinfection – Please clean the plastic and metal parts of your
travel scooter by using a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive and non-
corrosive detergent. Do not use cleaning products that may scratch your travel
scooter. – If necessary, please clean the travel scooter with an approved
disinfectant. Before using the disinfectant, make sure that it can be safely
applied to your travel scooter. Be sure to follow all safety instructions for
the proper use of disinfectants and/or detergents. Failure to follow safety
instructions may result in skin irritation and premature damage to your travel
scooter linings and/or premature fading of color. Battery terminal connection
Make sure that the battery terminal connection is firm and non-corrosive. Wire
harness – Check all route connections regularly. – Regularly check all the
insulation of the wires for wear or damage, including the charger power wire.
– If there are any damaged joints, connections or insulation, please contact
the authorized supplier for repair or replacement before using the travel
scooter again. In terms of fluid entry, although your travel scooter has
passed the necessary test standards, you still need to ensure that its
appliances are not connected to humid conditions, including direct contact
with water, body fluids or incontinence fluids. Frequently check electrical
components for signs of corrosion and replace them if necessary. Do not pull
the beam directly when it is unloaded from the scooter. Please hold the joint
when disconnect the wire harness, so as not to damage the wires. on the cover

7. Maintenance
Bearing and motor/transaxle assembly have been pre-lubricated and sealed,
without the need of lubrication in the future. Motor brush: The motor brush is
placed in the motor/transaxle assembly. Your authorized supplier should
periodically check the motor brushes for wear. Console, charger and rear
electronic device: These parts must be protected from moisture. If these parts
accidentally encounter wet objects, please be sure to wait until they are
completely dry before using the travel scooter again. Replacement of the nylon
lock nuts: The nylon inserted lock nuts removed during regular maintenance,
installation or disassembly of the travel scooter must be replaced with the
new one. The nylon inserted lock nuts are not reusable as they are likely to
damage the nylon insertion, resulting in reduced safety. The new nylon
inserted lock nuts for replacement are available at local hardware stores or
by the authorized supplier. Storing the scooter: If you do not use the travel
scooter for a long time, we suggest you; Fully charge the battery before
storing the travel scooter and remove the battery pack on the travel scooter.
Store your travel scooter in a warm and dry place. Do not store your travel
scooter in places where there may be extreme temperatures. The recommended
storage temperatures are between -10°C~ 70°C. Batteries may suffer permanent
damage, unreliable performance and shortened service life if they are
frequently deeply discharged, infrequently charged, and stored at extreme
temperatures or in a non-fully charged state. If your travel scooter is stored
for a long period of time, we recommend that you charge its battery regularly
to ensure good performance.
The battery temperature must be higher than the freezing point temperature,
and it is not allowed to charge the frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery
may cause damage. When your travel scooter will be stored for a long time, you
can put several boards under the frame to avoid direct contact with the
ground. This way, the bearing capacity of the tire can be reduced, and the
possibility of forming marks in the tire area that contacts the ground can be
reduced. Product treatment: Please be sure to dispose of your travel scooter
in accordance with relevant local and national laws and regulations. For
information on proper disposal of packaging, metal frame parts, plastic parts,
electronic devices, batteries, neoprene, silicone and polyurethane materials,
please consult your local waste disposal facility or the authorized supplier.

Here are a Few Ways to Keep Your Batteries Healthy. – Keep your batteries at
room temperature. Heat is by far the largest factor when it comes to reducing
battery life. – Batteries deteriorate over time, whether they’re being used or
not. – We suggest that after 30 partial charges, you allow for a complete
discharge of the battery before recharging. This will allow for a
recalibration of the power gauge. – Gradual deterioration in performance will
result if the battery has been left in a discharged state.
