using the Currie “Smart Charger”, we
recommend that you do not leave the
charger plugged in for more than 24
hours.
CHANGING THE BATTERY PACK
1. IMPORTANT: Be sure the power
switch on the scooter is in the
“OFF” position.
2. Remove the deck by unscrew-
ing the “D” ring deck retention
screw then lifting the deck off.

BATTERY CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Not doing any and/or all of the following may lead to reduced performance
and/or permanent damage to the batteries. Batteries that have been
damaged by not following the below steps will need to be replaced and are
not covered under warranty.
• Always be sure to fully charge batteries before first use (6-10
hours depending on size).
• Always be sure to fully charge batteries after each and every use
(6-10 hours depending on size).
• Be sure to charge batteries at least every 30 days.
• Do not store batteries below 50º Fahrenheit and never allow
batteries to freeze (below 32º Fahrenheit).
• Always be sure to turn the scooter “OFF” after each use via the
On/Off power switch.
SLA (SEALED LEAD ACID) BATTERY CONDITIONING
SLA batteries should always be fully charged (charge time of 6-10 hours
depending on amperage of battery) before first use. This will help obtain
optimum performance.
SLA batteries have a “break-in” cycle consisting of ~ three discharge/charge
cycles before they will reach optimum performance. This involves three
complete discharges and three complete recharges (charge time of 6-10
hours depending on amperage of battery and strength of the charger). After
this initial “break-in” cycle the batteries will have increased performance and
less line voltage fluctuations under load, as indicated by the throttle LED’s.
FUSE
In the event of an overload the fuse will pop and need to be replaced. In this
instance replace only with approved part from Currie Technologies

.
Risk of fire, Do not bypass fuse.
