Kymco Xciting 250i - Owner's Manual > Battery

Your KYMCO scooter is equipped with a maintenance-free (sealed) type battery so it is not necessary to check the battery's electrolyte level or add distilled water.

NOTE: If your battery seems weak and/or is leaking electrolyte (causing hard starting or other electrical troubles), contact your KYMCO dealer immediately .

Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be permanently damaged if the cap strip is removed.

Your scooter's battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation. A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or seriously hurt you. Wear protective clothing and a face shield, or have a qualified technician perform the battery maintenance.
