Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Lithium-Ion batteries
technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium
batteries (nicads), and other common battery types. Lithium-
Ion batteries are specifi cally designed to provide power,
drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick
recharge.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide
batteries that best suit your scooter's specifi c electrical
demands. 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 scooter's
battery 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 Lithium-Ion
battery's peak performance and long life.
Follow these steps to properly break in your scooter's new battery for maximum effi ciency and service life:
1. Lithium-Ion batteries perform best with short or interval charging and partial discharges.
2. Operate your new 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 scooter's controls, then fully
recharge the battery.
3. After four or fi ve charging cycles, the battery is able to receive a charge of 100% of peak performance level
and are able to last for an extended period of time.
NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.
What about public transportation?
Your i-Go Lithium-Ion battery has been tested and complies with United Nations Transport Regulations standard
UN38.3 and conforms to 49 CFR 175.10(a)(17).
What about air travel?
Lithium-Ion batteries are made in a variety of sizes and ratings for diff erent uses. Not all Lithium-Ion batteries are
rated for air travel. Your scooter is labeled to indicate if the batteries are tested and comply with United Nations
Transport Regulation standard UN38.3. Refer to the battery box of your scooter to determine if the battery is rated
for air travel. Transport of the item on commercial aircraft is subject to federal regulations and airline policy. We
suggest you contact the carrier's ticket counter in advance to determine that carrier's specifi c requirements, and
to ensure your scooter and its battery are permitted.
