If you encounter a damaged or cracked
battery, immediately enclose it in a plas-
tic bag and contact your local waste dis-
posal agency or authorized Pride Provider
for instructions on disposal and battery re-
cycling which is our recommended course
of action.
Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemi-
cal technology than that used in car batteries,
nickel-cadmium batteries (nicads) and other
common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries
are specifically designed to provide power,
drain down their charge and then accept a rela-
tively quick recharge.
We work closely with our battery manufac-
turer to provide batteries that best suit your
scooter's specific electrical demands. Fresh
batteries are shipped fully charged to our cus-
tomers. During shipping, the batteries may en-
counter temperature extremes that can influ-
ence their initial performance. Heat diminishes
the charge on the battery; cold slows the avail-
able power and extends the time needed to
recharge the battery.
