Batteries & Battery Charging
 
 
Batteries  
The Shoprider 6Runner Powerchairs are designed to operate on two 12 
volt/36Ah or 75Ah sealed lead acid aka SLA (AGM or gel-cell type) 
maintenance free batteries. The life of the batteries may be affected by 
temperature, terrain, weight of user, driving methods, and care of batteries. 
The active user will need to charge the batteries after using approximately 
30% of battery capacity. As an inactive user, only using from once a week 
to every other day, the recharge point would be at 50% of discharge (Refer 
to Figure 8). For extended battery life, it is highly recommended that these 
guidelines be followed. You cannot over charge the batteries. 
•  Active users: Charge daily 
• 
Occasional users: Charge your battery before any outing and always 
after active use.
 
 
*Keeping the batteries charged extends the life of the batteries* 
SLA batteries should be kept fully charged at all times. They must not 
be left in a discharged state if the unit is not being used for some time 
or the batteries will be permanently damaged and will no longer hold 
a charge. The SLA batteries should be checked once a month and 
kept charged as needed. Typically SLA batteries have up to about 
400 charging cycles.
