BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGER
All Shoprider® Heavy Duty scooters require two maintenance free, sealed lead acid batteries or
gel batteries. Battery performance can be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery,
the weight of the user, etc. The battery level indicator/gauge is only a guide and is most effective
when the scooter is in drive, only then is the true battery discharge level displayed.
•
When the scooter stops the battery level indicator may indicate full (no load on batteries).
•
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 batteries should be put on charge over night.
Battery Charger
Batteries required for your scooter are specially designed. All Shoprider® scooters require a
Shoprider® automatic battery charger. These chargers have an electronic switch that will
terminate the charge when the batteries are fully charged. All Shoprider® chargers rely on a
specific minimum feed-back voltage signal from the batteries in order to begin the charging
cycle. If the batteries are severely discharged, the charger does not receive the required feed-back
signal and the charger will not charge the batteries. Please contact your authorized Shoprider®
provider for assistance.
The battery charger supplied for the Shoprider® Sprinter XL3 Deluxe, Sprinter XL4 Deluxe, and
Sprinter Jumbo XL scooters are 24 volt 8 amp transformer type off-board chargers. The battery
charger supplied for the Shoprider® Sprinter XL4 scooter is a 24 volt 3 amp transformer type
off-board charger.
Charging
Charge the batteries completely (8-12 hours) prior to first time use.
To charge the batteries
connect the plug lead into the battery-charging socket on the scooter tiller and the 3-prong A/C
plug into the wall socket and switch on (8 amp charger only).
FOR Sprinter XL:
the battery
charger has two lights. The red light when constant shows the battery charger is connected, if
the red light flashes; there is a break in the connection. The green light flashes when the batteries
are receiving charge and is constant when the charge is complete.
FOR Sprinter XL3 Deluxe,
XL4 Deluxe and Jumbo XL:
The battery charger has two lights. The red light shows the
battery charger is connected and has power (switched on). The second light will show a gold
light while charging and a green light when the charge is complete.
CAUTION: Always ensure that the charging lead is in good condition and has not been
damaged or stretched.
