• Indoor Use Only: This charger is designed for indoor use. Avoid exposure to moisture, rain, or extreme temperatures.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the charger is properly connected to your scooter and a power outlet, the built-in LED indicator will show the charging status:

• Red Light: Indicates that the battery is currently charging.
• Green Light: Indicates that the battery is fully charged.

When the light turns green, disconnect the charger from the wall outlet first, then from the scooter. This prevents overcharging and helps prolong battery life.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the charger with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture when not in use.
• Cable Care: Avoid bending or crimping the cables excessively. Do not pull the charger by its cord.
• Temperature: Do not operate the charger in extremely hot or cold environments.

7. Troubleshooting

  • Verify that the scooter's charging port is clean and free of debris.
• Battery Not Charging:
  • Confirm that the correct DC connector tip is being used for your scooter model.
  • Check the scooter's battery for any internal issues. The charger will show a green light if the battery is not accepting a charge, indicating a potential battery problem rather than a charger fault.
