Page 22: Battery & Charging
BATTERY & CHARGING Your XMB-400 Mobility Scooter uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. -

12VDC (direct current). This scooter’s batteries use direct current to run the XMB-400. When the battery voltage is low, the charger sends more current to the batteries so that the charger has a higher temperature, this is normal. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent to them from the charger is nearly zero. - Page 24 We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are seal and maintenance free. Both SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Your XMB-400 will arrive with 12V12Ah SLA batteries. Why do my new batteries seem weak? Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium, or in other common battery types.
