Battery Charging & Maintenance
BATTERY CHARGING
Your scooter has a lot of power, so keeping it working to its maximum potential means that its two
batteries must be maintained with full power. Nightly recharging, after use, will help you give them
a longer life and will ensure your scooter is always ready to go when you are.
BATTERIES
Your scooter batteries are virtually maintenance-free, because the electrolyte is immobilized in a
special form and will not leak out, even if the battery is accidentally overturned.
Because your scooter batteries are sealed, they are most likely to be accepted for transport on all
aircraft. Please consult your carrier prior to departure, as they will need advance warning that you
wish them to carry batteries.
PLEASE NOTE: Each carrier reserves the right to carry what may be termed “HAZARDOUS
CARGO” Shoprider cannot be responsible for their final decision.
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 makes of chargers
may permanently damage your scooter batteries, and would void the warranty.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Your scooter batteries will need to be recharged when the battery state indicator located on the
tiller console is reading in the far left position. NOTE: The batteries will have a longer life if you do
not use up all of the battery’s power, and recharge as soon as the battery gauge reaches two bars.
Two bars represent time to recharge, rather than letting it go right over the far left on the scale.
Charging Your Scooter's Batteries
1. Switch off your scooter and remove the key.
2. Plug the black power cable into the scooter's charging receptacle.
The receptacle is located on the bottom inside of the tiller, facing the
seat. Gently pull out the safety cap and carefully plug in the power
cable. Take the male end of the power cable and plug into the wall
outlet.
