What type and size of battery should I use?

We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep- cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.

WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel- Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.

NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.

How do I change a battery in my scooter?

MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling.

WARNING! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry, and amp- hour (Ah) capacity. Refer to the specifications table in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.

WARNING! Do not mix old and new batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time.

WARNING! Contact your authorized Pride Provider if you have any questions regarding the batteries in your scooter.

WARNING! Do not replace the batteries while the scooter is occupied.

WARNING! The batteries on your scooter should only be serviced or replaced by an authorized Pride Provider or a qualified technician.

PROHIBITED! Keep tools and other metal objects away from battery terminals. Contact with tools can cause electrical shock.
