6.3. Batteries

Your scooter is equipped with maintenance-free gel batteries whose
fluid level doesn't need to be checked.
If your scooter is not used for an extended period, the charger should
be connected about every 4 weeks to prevent damage to the batteries
by deep discharge.
Before embarking on any journey, just check the charge status of
your battery on the battery status display located on your controller.
If the battery status display is in the low range, do not travel longer
distances and promptly connect the battery charger to the scooter. We
recommend connecting the charger to the scooter after every journey

6.3.1. Charging

• Only use approved chargers (of the type specified in the technical
data or supplied by the B+B specialist retailer) to charge the
batteries.

230 V.
• First of all, switch the scooter off.
• Connect the charger to the power socket (230 V)
• Check the LED status on the charger. If a red LED illuminates or
flashes, do not start the charging process.
• If the charger is ready for use, connect it to the scooter. The
charging socket is located on the side underneath the ignition lock

6.3.2. Replacing the batteries

Be very careful when working on the batteries. Do not use metal tools,
do not touch the battery terminals and ensure that you follow the
battery manufacturer's instructions.
Caution! This work should only be done by a trained
technician. There is danger of fatal injury!
Only use batteries that are approved for this scooter (see Technical
data).
Make sure that the scooter is switched off before starting to replace the
batteries. (See also Section 4.7 - Disassembling for storage).
• The batteries are located underneath the seat of the scooter and
are protected by the housing cover.
• Start by removing the housing cover (Fig 41).
• - Disconnect the plug connections carefully and without using force.
• Undo the screw on the mounting bracket.
• Now remove the batteries (Fig. 43).
• Lift the new batteries into the space provided and connect the
contacts. Make sure to observe the correct colour-coding (red and
black, Fig. 42).
• Reattach the housing cover and the seat.
When the batteries have reached the end of their
life, i.e. cannot be sufficiently charged any more,
they must not be disposed of with the household
waste. When new batteries are purchased, the mo-
bility dealer takes the old batteries and disposes of
them correctly.
