BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGER
The Shoprider® scooter is supplied with maintenance free, sealed lead acid batteries. Battery
performance can be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery, the weight of the user, etc.
The battery level indicator 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 level indicator 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.
Battery Charger
Batteries supplied with your scooter are specially designed. All units require an automatic battery
charger. XtraLite 3 and XtraLite 4 have built in charger ports on the side of the battery pack.
The battery chargers are 2-amp transformer type off board.
Charging
To charge the batteries connect the plug lead into the battery-charging socket on the scooter/battery
pack and the 2 or 3-prong plug into the wall socket and switch on. FOR Scootie and Sunrunner S
ONLY: the battery charger has two lights. The red light when constant shows the battery charger is
connected if the red light flashes; there is a break in the connection. A steady green light will show
the unit is charging. When the light turns solid red again while still plugged into the charging port

FOR XTRALITE 3 & 4: Connect 3 prong round plug to their charging port, located on the side of
