NOTE: The LED lights on the charger indicate different charger conditions at various times: charger power on, charging in progress, and charging complete. Refer to the manual supplied with the charger for a complete explanation of these indicators.

NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your scooter. The scooter will not run and the battery condition meter will not operate while the batteries are charging.

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 bat- teries, 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 leading to the charger.

Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
