• When charging is nearly finished, the green light turns on. You should continue to charge the batteries for one or two hours.
  It is recommended that your batteries be charged for 10 to 12 hours. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the input connector of the charger from the wall outlet and then its output connector from the 3-pin charger socket of the scooter.
• The batteries can also be charged off the scooter.

New Battery Usage: To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency, please follow the notes below:

1. Fully charge any new battery before its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level.
