7.2 Guide to a safe and long-lasting battery
7.2.1 How does the charger work?
• When the battery voltage is low, the battery charger outputs a large current to charge the
battery.
• When battery voltage is close to full, the battery charger outputs a small current, this is
known as a trickle feed.
• When battery is full, the battery charger will output very little current which is almost zero.
Therefore.
•
The battery will continually charge after connecting the charge but will not overcharge. It is
better to charge no more than 24 hours.
7.2.2 How does the indicator light (LED) in charger display.
There are two LED indicator lights in the charger. The red indicator light is the power indicator light.
Regarding the other one, it is orange when charging and it will become green when the battery is charged fully.
The red one will sometimes stay on after pulling the charger plug out from the power socket; this is perfectly
normal, it just needs a few seconds for the red light to snuff out when the battery voltage is up to 26V.
7.2.3 Can I use other chargers with my Solax scooter?
To charge safely and efficiently, we highly recommend using the charger supplied by the original manufacturer or registered
dealer. Using a third-party charge may damage your battery.
7.2.4 How often should charge the battery?
• If you are driving scooter every day, you should charge it after every use. This way it is always ready for you.
The battery charging time will vary depending on how full/empty your battery is at the time of charging.
• If you are driving your scooter once a week, then it is best to charge the battery once a week. Battery
charging times will vary, depending on how full/empty the battery is.
• Make sure you always fully charge the battery.
7.2.5 How to achieve optimum operating distance?
Some driving conditions such as hills, uneven and soft surface, wind conditions and user weight will affect the
driving distance and battery performance.
• Fully charged your battery before driving it.
• Avoid hills and soft surface.
• Only to carry the necessities and reduce the luggage weight.
• Keep a constant speed.
• Avoid intermittent driving.
7.2.6 Why does the power of my new battery seem weak?
Deep-cycle battery use a unique chemical technology and design. It can be charged quickly and can be used for a
long time after it has been fully charged. The battery is fully charged when it leaves the factory but may change its
initial charge during transportation. The battery will lose power in high temperatures and it will extend the held
charge in low temperatures.
The battery needs a few days to adapt to the surrounding environment before performs consistently. More
importantly, deep-cycle batteries require several charging cycles (full charge and large discharge) before they will
perform at maximum capacity.
Warning: Please do not dismantle the Li-polymer battery and do not add water. Failure to
observe this note will void the warranty and damage the battery and scooter.
