What type and size of battery should I use?
Your Travel Scooter requires two deep cycle batteries. We recommend only sealed, maintenance-free
types such as AGM or Gel-Cell. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps. Refer to the
specifications table for size as batteries differ depending on manufacture.
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 the batteries in my Travel 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 Pride Provider if you have any questions regarding the
batteries in your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! Do not replace the batteries while the Travel Scooter is occupied.
WARNING! The batteries on your Travel 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.

batteries:
Metric/standard socket set and ratchet
