BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your Travel Scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free.
They are recharged by the supplied off -board charging system.
 Charge your Travel Scooter's batteries for at least 8 to 14 hours prior to using it for the fi rst time.
 Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your Travel Scooter running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a
color code. From right to left on the meter, green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and
red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See fi gure 18. To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery
condition meter should be checked while operating your Travel Scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface.
NOTE: Ambient Meter (Battery Condition Meter 1c) adjusts brightness based on environmental lighting.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
NOTE: With some models, the battery pack can be charged on or off
the Travel Scooter. See Travel Scooter Features Table.
NOTE: Models 66 and 67, both battery boxes can be removed from the
scooter and then attached together for easy charging. See Figure 19.

electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an
approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet

your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a
properly wired standard electrical outlet.

play near the Travel Scooter while the batteries are
charging. We recommend that you do not charge the
batteries while the Travel Scooter is occupied.
