FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the charger work?
When your 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 scooter’s
batteries, but does not overcharge them. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging
instructions.
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 scooter’s
batteries we recommend only use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your Pride product.
Any charging method resulting in batteries being charged individually is especially prohibited.
What if my scooter’s batteries won’t charge?
Ensure the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals.
Ensure both battery harnesses that extend from the batteries are plugged into their mating harness.
Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for
outdoor 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.
