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?
Your scooter requires two 12-volt, deep cycle, U-1 (31-36 Ah) batteries that are sealed and maintenance
free. Only sealed, non-spillable batteries that meet DOT CRF 173.459 should be used with your scooter.
Replacement batteries should be obtained from your authorized Pride Provider to ensure proper conform-
ability, fit, and function.
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.
To change a battery in your scooter:
1. Remove the seat and rear shroud.
2. Disconnect the battery tie-down strap.
3. Disconnect the T-handle battery harness.
4. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery terminals.
5. Remove the old battery.
6. Place a new battery in the battery well.
7. Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+) battery terminal.
8. Connect the black battery cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
9. Reconnect the T-handle battery harness.
10. Reconnect the battery tie-down strap.
11. Reinstall the rear shroud and seat.
NOTE: If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag. Contact
your local waste disposal agency or your authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and
battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
