CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES AWAY FROM YOUR

SCOOTER

For convenience your Companion is supplied with an off

board charging cable (Fig 35). In circumstances when your

Scooter is stowed in your car etc., your two batteries can be

recharged away from your Scooter with the aid of the ‘off

board’ charging cable.

The cable links together your batteries and Charger. Simply

connect the two black connectors on your batteries to the

link cable and the 3-pin plug of your Charger to the 3-pin

socket of the link cable.

Connect your Charger to a convenient wall socket, switch on,

your batteries are now being recharged away from your

Scooter.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why do my batteries require recharging?

Batteries are the fuel tank for your Scooter. They provide the

vital energy to power your vehicle. When you ride your

Scooter, the drive motor consumes the energy stored in the

batteries. The battery’s energy is gradually reduced over the

period of driving time and will need to be replaced before

you can use your Scooter again.

Similar to the situation with a motor car, in that you need to

replenish the petrol as it is used up as energy, likewise with

your Scooter, you need to replace the used battery energy by

re-charging the discharged battery cells.

How does my Charger work?

Your battery Charger is an intelligent automatic charging

instrument. Your Charger’s robust framework contains a

number of quality components; namely a transformer, rectifier

and complex control circuitry.

The Charger receives the 230volts domestic electricity supply

via a standard 3-pin wall plug and reduces this voltage down

to 24volts via a transformer. At the same time it rectifies the

A.C., alternating domestic current into D.C., direct current.

This matches exactly, the voltage characteristics stored by

your Scooter’s batteries.

Your Charger automatically controls the re-charge cycle from

the moment that you switch it on to the moment the green

‘

Charge Complete’ light on the face of your Charger

illuminates.

When your battery’s voltage is very low, the Charger will

work extremely hard to replenish the spent energy. This is

called the ‘Bulk Charging’ stage. As the battery voltage

approaches 90% of the full charge capacity, the Charger

reduces its output for the final stage of the re-charge cycle.

The time taken from switch-on to the end of the bulk

charging will vary, depending on the amount that the batteries

have been used, or in time their age. At this point a timer is

automatically started, to regulate the final stage of the

charging cycle, this set time ensures maximum capacity and

battery life.

The length of time to re-charge your batteries will vary from 8

up to 12 hours. This variation in time is due to the following

factors:

1. Depth of discharge - The amount of energy you have

removed from your batteries when driving your Scooter.

2. Battery age - This is due to the changes in their internal

electrical resistance. Note very old batteries may take

longer to fully recharge.

Where can I re-charge my batteries?

In most safe domestic environments, i.e. your house, garage

or shed. Do not expose to rain or spray - for indoor use only.

Later on in this information, there is reference to the way

temperature variations can affect the performance of your

vehicle. When charging your batteries where reasonably

practicable, ensure that the battery Charger is close to the

vehicle being charged so that the temperature of the battery

Charger and batteries are almost compatible.

For example, a vehicle may be outside whilst the battery

Charger is inside. It is possible in this situation that the

battery Charger will sense the inside temperature, whereas

the batteries on the vehicle will be at the outside temperature,

resulting in an undercharged situation. This situation must be

avoided.

How often must I re-charge my batteries?

Many factors come into play when deciding how often to

charge your batteries. You may use your vehicle all day on a

daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time. Other

factors such as driver and baggage weight, smooth or rough

terrain, flat areas or inclines and speed must all be

considered.

With these variables you should concern yourself with two

questions: HOW OFTEN should I charge and for HOW

LONG? The Charger is designed so that it is impossible to

overcharge your batteries. If you follow the guidelines below,

your batteries will provide safe and reliable operation.

1. If you use your vehicle during the day. put it on charge as

soon as you have finished using it. The Charger is fully

automatic so it will not overcharge your batteries. Your

vehicle will be ready each morning to give you several hours

use. It is recommended that you charge your batteries after

daily use until the green ‘Charge Complete‘ light

illuminates.

2. If you use your vehicle infrequently (once a week or less)

you should charge it at least once per week until the green

‘Charge Complete’ light illuminates. Remember: Keep your

batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging them.
