BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING

The Shoprider® GolfRider™ scooter must be equipped with two maintenance-free, sealed lead acid or gel batteries. The batteries are installed underneath the seat and rear chassis cover. Battery life and performance may be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery, the weight of the user, and care of batteries. The battery level indicator 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 level indicator 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 will extend the life of the batteries

Charging the batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency and extend battery life. Failure to do so may cause damage.
