Battery Replacement
WARNING! Pride Power Chair batteries are heavy. Refer to the specifications table. If you are

personal injury.
To replace the batteries:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Disconnect the controller from the electronics tray.
3. Remove the seat.
4. Remove the battery boxes and set them on a solid, flat surface.
5. Unfasten the battery box straps on the bottom of each box.
6. Lift up the top cover.
7. Remove the rubber covers from the terminals. Unscrew the terminal nuts and bolts and disconnect the battery wires
from the battery terminals.
8. Remove the battery from the bottom cover.
9. Place the new battery into the bottom cover.
10. Connect the red battery wire to the (+) positive terminal and the black battery wire to the (-) negative terminal.
WARNING! Make sure you tighten the fasteners so that the connections are secure.
11. Place the rubber covers over the terminals.
12. Replace the top cover on each battery box.
13. Fasten the straps and make sure the connections are secure.
14. Position the battery terminals on the opposite side of the battery charger.
WARNING! If you do not position the battery terminals on the opposite side of the charger, you
run the risk of shorting out the batteries and severely damaging your power chair!

16. Place the front battery box back into the battery well.

NOTE: If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and call your
authorised Pride Dealer for instructions on disposal. Your authorised Pride Dealer will also have the neces-
sary information on battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
