BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING
The Shoprider® Start Portable scooter is supplied with maintenance-free, sealed lead acid
batteries. For easy handling, the batteries are contained within a battery pack. Battery life
and performance may be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery, the weight
of the user, care of batteries, and other conditions. The battery needle gauge 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 needle gauge 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.
**Keeping the batteries charged at all times will extend the life of the batteries**
Battery Charger
The battery charger is a 2-amp transformer type off board. The Start Portable scooter has a
built in charger port on the rear side of the battery pack. This special feature allows the
batteries within the battery pack to be charged without the scooter. A compartment built into
the battery pack is designed to store the battery charger when not in use.
First Time Use
Prior to using your Start 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 battery pack. Plug the A/C cord plug into the wall socket
and the other end into the charger (2-pin). The battery charger has two indicator lights. The
red light shows the batteries are charging. When the light turns green while connected to
the charging port the batteries are fully charged. Once the batteries are completely
charged, unplug the A/C cord from the wall then unplug the 3-pin lead from the battery
pack. Remove charger once charging cycle is finished.
WARNING: Only use the original Shoprider approved charger!
This charger is for indoor use only. DO NOT expose it to rain or water spray.
Do not leave the charger plugged into the charger port if the charger is not charging.
