BATTERIES AND CHARGING

Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free.
They are recharged by an off-board charging system. 

Charge your scooter’s batteries prior to using it for the first time.
Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.

Figure 10. Battery Condition Meter

READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE

The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approxi-
mate strength of your batteries using a color code. From right to left,
green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow indicates a draining
charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. 

See

figure 10

. To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter

should be checked while operating your scooter at full speed on a dry,
level surface. 

CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES

PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong

can create electrical hazard. If necessary,

properly install an approved 3-pronged

adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-

pronged plug access. 
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger.

Plug the charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.

PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the scooter

while the batteries are charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the

batteries while the scooter is occupied.

MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the

manual supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries.

WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batter-

ies. Keep the scooter and battery charger away from sources of ignition

such as flames or sparks and provide adequate ventilation when charging

the batteries.

WARNING! You must recharge your scooter’s batteries with the supplied off-

board charger. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.

WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage

before each use. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if damage is found.

WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery

charger does not appear to be working correctly, contact your authorized

Pride Provider.

WARNING! If the battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not

attempt to insert objects through these slots.

WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for out-

door use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If

the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then

it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions

before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for

more information.
