BATTERIES AND CHARGING-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
How does the charger work?
When your Legends battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the
batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and less
electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly zero
amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your Legends batteries,
but does not overcharge them. We do not recommend that you charge your Legends batteries for more than
24 consecutive hours.
What if my Legends batteries wont charge?
n Ensure that the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals.
n Ensure that both black and white battery harnesses are plugged into each other.
n Ensure that both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
Can I use a different charger?
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced charging of your Legends batteries, we prefer and highly
recommend simultaneous charging of both batteries with the onboard battery charger.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your Legends batteries:
n All day Scooter use on a daily basis.
n Infrequent or sporadic Scooter use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your
Legends batteries. We designed the onboard charger so that it will not overcharge your Scooters batteries.
However, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do
not charge them on a regular basis. Following the five guidelines below will provide safe and reliable
battery operation and charging.
n If you use your Legend daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your Legend will
be ready each morning to give you a full day of service. We recommend that you charge your Legends
batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
n If you use your Legend once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a
time.
n Keep your Legends batteries fully charged.
n Avoid deeply discharging your Legends batteries.
n Do not charge your Legends batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
