How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery service life. Keep
your Hurricane’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are deeply discharged, infrequently
charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged and cause unreliable performance and
limited service life.
How should I store my Hurricane and its batteries?
If you plan on not using your Hurricane for an extended period of time, it is best to:
n Fully charge the batteries prior to storage.
n Disconnect the battery harnesses from the electronic controller module.
n Store your Hurricane in a warm, dry environment.
n Avoid storing your Hurricane where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! If your Hurricane’s batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them. Cold or
frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your Hurricane to raise the
Scooter off the ground and take the weight off the tyres. This reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the
areas of the tyres contacting the ground.
