BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING

The  Shoprider®  Start  8  Portable  scooter  is  supplied  with  maintenance-free,  sealed  lead
acid batteries.  For easy handling, the batteries are contained within a battery pack. Battery
life  and  performance  may  be  affected  by  temperature,  terrain,  condition  of  battery,  the
weight  of  the  user,  care  of  batteries,  and  other  conditions.    The  battery  needle  gauge  is
only  a  guide  and  is  most  effective  when  the  scooter  is  moving,  only  then  is  the  true
discharge level displayed.
•  When the scooter stops the battery needle gauge may indicate full.
•  An active user can use up to 30% of battery capacity or more per day.
•  Inactive users may only use 50% of battery capacity in a week.
•  In both these instances the battery should be put on charge over night.

**Keeping the batteries charged at all times will extend the life of the batteries**

Battery Charger
The battery charger is a 3-amp transformer type off board. The Start 8 Portable scooter has
a built in charger port on the rear side of the battery pack.  This special feature allows the
batteries within the battery pack to be charged without the scooter.

First Time Use
Prior to using your Start 8 Portable scooter for the first time, you must charge the batteries
fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging
the batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency. Failure to do so
may cause damage.

Charging
To  charge  the  batteries  connect  the  3-pin  male  plug  lead  into  the  3-pin  female  battery-
charging  socket  located  on  the  battery  pack.  Plug  the  A/C  cord  plug  into  the  wall  socket
and the other end into the charger (2-pin). The battery charger has two indicator lights. The
red light shows the batteries are charging. When the light turns green while connected to
the  charging  port  the  batteries  are  fully  charged.  Once  the  batteries  are  completely
charged,  unplug  the  A/C  cord  from  the  wall  then  unplug  the  3-pin  lead  from  the  battery
pack. Remove charger once charging cycle is finished.

WARNING: Only use the original Shoprider approved charger!

This charger is for indoor use only. DO NOT expose it to rain or water spray.

Do not leave the charger plugged into the charger port if the charger is not charging.
