FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the charger work?
When your Travel Scooter’s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical
current to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends
less and less electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at
nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your Travel
Scooter’s batteries, but does not overcharge them. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger
for charging instructions.
What if my Travel Scooter’s batteries will not charge?
Ensure that the fuse on the battery pack is in working condition. See figure 7 .
Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
Can I use a different charger?
Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are especially matched to the type, size,
and chemical formulation of specific batteries. For the safest and most efficient charging of your
Travel Scooter’s batteries, we recommend use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your
Pride product only. Any charging method resulting in batteries being charged individually is
especially prohibited.
Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries
safely:
1. Position your Travel Scooter or battery pack
close to a standard electrical outlet. See figures
17 and 17A.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Make certain that the manual freewheel lever is in
the drive (backward) position.
4. Plug the charger power cord into the charger
power cord receptacle on your Travel Scooter,
then into the electrical outlet. We recommend
that you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
NOTE: The LED lights on the charger indicate
different charger conditions at various times. Refer
to the operating instructions supplied with the
charger for a complete explanation of these
indicators.
5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the
charger power cord from the electrical outlet and
then from the charger power cord receptacle.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your
Travel Scooter. The Travel Scooter will not run and
the battery condition meter will not operate while
the batteries are charging (when pack is being
charged on the Travel Scooter).
