CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
8 No charging is necessary when the open-
circuit voltage equals or exceeds 12.8 V.
b. Check the charge of the battery, as shown
in the charts and the following example.
Example
c. Open-circuit voltage = 12.0 V
d. Charging time = 6.5 hours
e. Charge of the battery = 20 ~ 30%

8 Never remove the MF battery sealing
caps.

8 Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage current
into the battery quickly and can cause
battery overheating and battery plate
damage.

8 If it is impossible to regulate the charg-
ing current on the battery charger, be
careful not to overcharge the battery.

8 When charging a battery, be sure to re-
move it from the scooter. (If charging has
to be done with the battery mounted on
the scooter, disconnect the negative bat-
tery lead from the battery terminal.)

8 To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the bat-
tery charger leads are connected to the
battery.
