VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
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.
NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.
To change a battery in your scooter:
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not mix or match new and old
batteries. If you encounter a situation where one battery needs to be replaced, then replace
both batteries. Refer to specifications table in this manual and the manual supplied with
the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.
1. Remove the seat.
2. Remove the battery packs from the scooter. Always remove the left side battery pack first. See IX. “Disassem-
bly and Assembly.”
3. Remove the 7 screws from the underside of the pack.
4. Arrange the pack so the handle is facing up and slowly remove the cover and situate it as shown in figure 9.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell
batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
5. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery termi-
nals by removing the nut and bolt from each terminal.
6. Remove the old battery.
7. Place a new battery into the battery pack.
8. Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+)
battery terminal.
9. Connect the black battery cable to the negative (-)
battery terminal.
10. Replace battery pack cover.
11. Reinstall the 7 screws that hold the pack together
and tighten.
12. Reinstall the battery packs onto the scooter and close
the battery locks. Always reinstall the right side bat-
tery pack first.

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