Battery/ Charging Troubleshooting
Shoprider WS & HD
– If the charger indicator light has a blinking red
light after being plugged in and doesn’t charge the batteries the
batteries may be over discharged or there may be a brake in the
connection (loose wires or connections) and may require additional
service or replacement. Contact your provider for assistance.
If the charger indicator light goes immediately to green when plugged
in to charge, the problem is likely a blown fuse popped circuit breaker
(push reset button) or similar. Contact your provider for assistance.
