Batteries

Shoprider HD, Shoprider WS

The Shoprider WS is designed to operate on two 12 volt/36Ah sealed lead acid (AGM or gel-cell type) aka SLA maintenance free batteries. While the Shoprider HD is designed to operate on two 12 volt/75Ah sealed lead acid (AGM or gel-cell type) aka SLA maintenance free batteries. The life of the batteries may be affected by temperature, terrain, weight of user, driving methods, and care of batteries. It is recommended that you charge your batteries after every use. Please pay close attention to the light indication on the charger to ensure that the batteries are fully charged before taken off of the charger.

The active user will need to charge the batteries after using approximately 30% of battery capacity. As an inactive user, only using from once a week to every other day, the recharge point would be at 50% of discharge (Refer to Figure 8). For extended battery life, it is highly recommended that these guidelines be followed. You cannot over charge the batteries.

*Keeping the batteries charged extends the life of the batteries* SLA batteries should be kept fully charged at all times. They must not be left in a discharged state if the unit is not being used for some time or the batteries will be permanently damaged and will no longer hold a charge. The SLA batteries should be checked once a month and kept charged as needed. Typically SLA batteries have up to about 400 charging cycles.
