IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
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 the batteries in your scooter:
1. Remove the seat and battery shroud.
2. Disconnect the battery tie-down strap.
3. Disconnect the battery harnesses by pulling them straight up. See figure 11.
4. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery terminals by sliding back the terminal boots and
unscrewing the nut from the bolt. See figure 13.

6. Place a new battery in each battery well. Face the battery terminals of each battery away from the seat
post.
