X. BATTERIES & CHARGING BATTERY RANGE There are many factors that affect the range of your batteries, including the surfaces, inclines, curves, or wind you encounter when operating your scooter. If not ideal conditions, all of these factors will reduce the travel time or distance between charges. Follow these suggestions for maximum range: SUGGESTION - Fully charge the batteries prior to any trip, and plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines. SUGGESTION - Limit baggage and accessory weight to essential items, and maintain an even speed avoiding stop-and-go driving. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Sealed lead acid AGM or gel-cell batteries are designed for use in scooters. These batteries are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved. Since there is no danger of spillage or leakage, this allows for safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and trains. SUGGESTION - When transporting your scooter on public transportation contact your carrier's ticket counter in advance to determine their specific requirements.
