Why do my new batteries seem weak?

Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium bat- teries (nicads), and other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge.

We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your scooter’s specific electrical demands. Fresh batteries arrive daily at Pride and are shipped fully charged to our customers. During shipping, the batteries may encounter temperature extremes that can influence their initial performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the battery; cold slows the available power and extends the time needed to recharge the battery.

It may take a few days for the temperature of your scooter’s batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new room or ambient temperature.

More importantly, it takes a few charging cycles (partial draining followed by full recharging) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak performance and long life.

Follow these steps to properly break in your scooter’s new batteries for maximum efficiency and service life.

1.Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88% of its peak performance level.

2.Operate your new scooter in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from your home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your scooter’s controls and have properly broken in your scooter’s batteries.

3.Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.

4.Operate your scooter again.

5.Fully recharge the batteries again.

6.After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance level and are able to last for an extended period of time.

What about public transportation?

If you intend to use public transportation with your scooter, you must contact the transportation provider in ad- vance to determine their specific requirements.
