NOTE: If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag.
Contact your local waste disposal agency and/or your authorized Pride Provider for instructions on
disposal and battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical tech-
nology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium
batteries (nicads), and other common battery types.
Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to pro-
vide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a
relatively quick recharge.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to pro-
vide batteries that best suit your scooter’s specific elec-
trical demands. Fresh batteries arrive daily at Pride and
are shipped fully charged to our customers. During ship-
ping, the batteries may encounter temperature extremes
that can influence their initial performance. Heat dimin-
ishes the charge on the battery; cold slows the avail-
able power and extends the time needed to recharge
the battery.
It may take a few days for the temperature of your
scooter’s batteries to stabilize and adjust to their new
room or ambient temperature. More importantly, it takes
a few charging cycles (partial draining followed by re-
charging) to establish the critical chemical balance that is
essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak performance
and long life.
