BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGER
The Shoprider
®
scooter is supplied with maintenance free, sealed lead acid batteries. Battery
performance can be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery, type of battery
charger, the weight of the user, wind speed, etc. The battery level indicator is only a guide and
is most effective when the scooter is moving, only then is the true discharge level displayed.
• When the scooter stops the battery level indicator may indicate full.
• An active user can use up to 30% of battery capacity or more per day.
• Inactive users may only use 50% of battery capacity in a week.
• In both these instances the battery should be put on charge over night.
Battery Charger
The battery charger supplied is special to your scooter, and may not be suitable for any other
power mobility product. Use only the charger supplied with your scooter; other marks of
chargers may permanently damage your scooter batteries, and would void the warranty. All
the information of battery charger and its operation instruction shall be referred to the user
manual attached with the charger in its packaging paper box.
First Time Use
Prior to using your Portable scooter for the first time, you must charge the batteries fully (refer
to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging the batteries
completely prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency. Failure to do so may cause
damage.
Charging
To charge the batteries connect the 3-pin male plug lead into the 3-pin
female battery-charging socket located on the tiller. Plug the A/C cord
plug into the wall socket and the other end into the charger (2-pin).
Please refer to the LED indicator description based on charging status
of the charger’s manual. Once the batteries are completely charged,
unplug the A/C cord from the wall then unplug the 3-pin lead from the
tiller.
