What if my Travel Scooter’s batteries will not charge?

Ensure that the fuse on the battery pack is in working condition.

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

Can I use a different charger?

Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are especially matched to the type, size, and chemi- cal formulation of specific batteries. For the safest and most efficient charging of your Travel Scooter’s batteries, we recommend use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your Pride product only. Any charging method resulting in batteries being charged individually is especially prohibited.

How often must I charge the batteries?

Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your Travel Scooter’s batteries: All day use on a daily basis.

Infrequent or sporadic use.

With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your Travel Scooter’s batteries. The battery charger was designed so that it will not overcharge your Travel Scooter’s batteries. However, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge them on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and charging.

If you use your Travel Scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your Travel Scooter will be ready each morning. We recommend that you charge your Travel Scooter’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.

If you use your Travel Scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a time.

Keep your Travel Scooter’s batteries fully charged. Avoid deeply discharging your Travel Scooter’s batteries.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?

Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your Travel Scooter’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Protect your Travel Scooter and batteries from extreme heat or cold. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.

How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?

Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions—smooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. Often, you will face hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of which affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge.

Always fully charge your Travel Scooter’s batteries prior to daily use. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire (if equipped with pneumatic tires).

Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible. Limit your baggage weight to essential items.

Try to maintain an even speed while your Travel Scooter is in motion. Avoid stop-and-go driving.
