BATTERY INFORMATION AND
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
Battery Information
For maximum range and life, it is recommended to fully charge
the batteries before using. Extended charging is good for the batteries
and will not overcharge them. Amigos have an overcharge protection
feature so that the batteries can be charged anytime the Amigo is not
being used. It is a popular misconception that batteries should be deeply
discharged before recharging. This is not the proper procedure for
all batteries. They can actually be damaged if they are discharged
too deeply before recharging.
Battery range depends on driver weight, terrain and type of battery used. Charge your batteries daily when
the Amigo is used. Make sure that the Charger Cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before moving your Amigo.
Batteries should be charged, if the Battery Indicator Light is blinking while operating.
Your Battery Indicator Light may blink prematurely when under a heavy power demand such as an incline.
If it is premature, it will stop blinking when the unit is stopped, and the power switch is cycled to OFF and back ON.
If this cycle does not stop the blinking, it is time to recharge.
Charging Instructions
Disconnect the Battery Power Connector from the Battery Case. Plug the small DC Battery Charge Connector to the Socket on
the Battery Case. Plug the AC Cord into the Wall Outlet. The charge cycle status is indicated by the Battery Indicator Light
(LED) on the Charger. The LED will glow ORANGE to indicate charging has started. The Batteries are fully charged when
the LED switches to GREEN.
The Battery Charger is designed to accept 90-240 volts AC power input. This makes it possible
to charge on any AC electrical system globally.
Charging Frequency
• Charge batteries daily when the Amigo is used.
• If not in use for a long period of time, charge for 24 hours, every 30 days.
• Extended charging is good for the batteries and will not overcharge them.
Charger Standard Precautions
• Refer to these instructions frequently.
• Each time you use your charger, read and follow instructions exactly.
Working in the vicinity of a battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive
gases during normal battery operation.
• Never smoke or allow an open flame in the vicinity of the battery.
• Use charger for charging a Lead Acid Battery only. It is not intended to supply
power to an extra-low-voltage electrical system or to charge dry cell batteries.
• Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• A spark near the battery may cause explosion.
To reduce risk of spark:
• Prevent external damage to AC and DC cords.
• When connecting charger, connect DC charging cord to the battery charge
plug before connecting Charger AC cord to electrical outlet.
• When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure.
Break first connection as far away from battery as possible.
• Be extra cautious not to drop a metal tool onto the battery(ies).
• Remove jewelry.
