This is deep discharging and should be avoided. • Be aware that for temperatures below 68 °F (20 °C), the nominal battery capacity starts to decline. For example, at 14 °F (-10 °C) the capacity is reduced to about 50% of the nominal battery capacity. • To avoid damaging the batteries, never allow them to be fully discharged. Do not drive on heavily discharged batteries if it is not absolutely necessary, as this will strain the batteries unduly and shorten their life expectancy. • The earlier you recharge the batteries, the longer they live. 60101831-A

Instructions on Using the Batteries
CAUTION!
Risk of damaging the batteries.
– Avoid ultra-deep discharges and never drain
your batteries completely.
•
Pay attention to the Battery Charge Indicator! Charge
the batteries when the Battery Charge Indicator shows
that battery charge is low.
How fast the batteries discharge depends on many
circumstances, such as ambient temperature, condition
of the surface of the road, tire pressure, weight of
the driver, way of driving and utilisation of lighting, if
equipped.
•
Try to charge the batteries always before you reach the
red LED range.
The last 3 LED (one red and two orange) mean a
remaining capacity of about 15%.
•
Driving with flashing red LED’s means an extreme stress
for the battery and should be avoided under normal
circumstances.
•
When only one red LED is flashing, the Battery
Safe feature is enabled. From this time, speed and
acceleration is reduced drastically. It will allow you to
move the mobility device slowly out of a dangerous
situation before the electronic finally cuts off. This is
deep discharging and should be avoided.
•
Be aware that for temperatures below 68 °F (20 °C), the
nominal battery capacity starts to decline. For example,
at 14 °F (-10 °C) the capacity is reduced to about 50%
of the nominal battery capacity.
•
To avoid damaging the batteries, never allow them to
be fully discharged. Do not drive on heavily discharged
batteries if it is not absolutely necessary, as this will
strain the batteries unduly and shorten their life
expectancy.
•
The earlier you recharge the batteries, the longer they
live.
