Batteries And Charging - Pride Mobility Go-Go Series Owner's Manual

V . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G
Your scooter is equipped with two sealed, maintenance free 12 AH batteries.
n Charge the batteries prior to using your scooter for the first time.
n Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly.
READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE
The battery condition meter on the tiller console uses a colour code to indicate
the approximate strength of your batteries. Green indicates fully charged bat-
teries, yellow a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge
is necessary. See figure 8.
To check the battery strength during charging, you must first unplug the charger
power lead and power up your scooter by inserting the key into the key switch.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
WARNING! Never use an extension lead to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly
into a properly wired standard wall outlet.
The scooter’s battery pack can be charged on or off the scooter.
Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely:
1. Position your scooter close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
3. Make certain that the manual freewheel lever is in the drive (pulled back) position.
4. Remove the charger power lead receptacle cover from the charger power lead receptacle and plug the 3-pin
off-board charger power lead into the receptacle.
5. Extend the charger power lead from the off-board battery charger and plug it into the wall outlet. It is recom-
mended that you charge your batteries for 8 to 14 hours.
There are two LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes) on the charger—when lit:
n Green indicates power to the charger.
n Red indicates the batteries are charging.
When the red LED is no longer lit, charging is complete.
6. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-board charger power lead from the wall outlet and then
from the charger power lead receptacle.
7. Replace the charger power lead receptacle cover.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your Go-Go. The Go-Go will not run and the battery condi-
tion meter will not operate if the charger cord is not disconnected from the battery pack.
