Battery (Warnings)

Make sure the scooter, charger and charging port are dry. When the scooter is fully charged, the LED light on the charger changes from red (charging) to green (charging completed). Use only the original charger. Other chargers damage the device and pose other potential risks.
The scooter should not be charged for extended periods. Overcharging reduces battery life and may cause other potential risks. Charge the scooter in a dry environment away from flammable materials (e.g. materials that could explode into flames), preferably at an internal temperature of 15–25 °C, but never below 0 °C or above + 45 °C. Do not charge in direct sunlight or near a fire. Do not charge the scooter immediately after use. Let the scooter cool down for one hour before charging. Never leave the electric scooter unattended while charging. Heat risk! Never connect the DC charging socket with metal objects.
