Thankyou Tom! My partner got no sense out of her supplier when her scooter came to a halt after two years light use.
"New charger and new battery - £800" was all they knew to say. She was in tears.
Nobody, but nobody, could suggest a way to check whether it was battery or charger failure or both. They were clueless as to whether the particular charger had to sense voltage before it could work (thank you for that tip) nor did they know there could be issues around having opted at purchase for lithium instead of lead acid. Read the manual? Haha!
My partner and I are heading off now to your Nithsdale Wheelchairs website where I feel sure we shall feel safe!

I never knew this much about battery charged that was fascinating

[Meg-rs]

Every time I charge my scooter I plug in the charger the battery is fully charged all the lights are working but then I go to drive it and it starts to beep nine times the last few times I had to take the scooter completely apart and put everything back together and then it works again I don't get it I don't know what to do but it stopped again because I had to charge it. Is there an answer for this old lady because it's exhausting it's really heavy to lift the seat and then take the rear end off and then put it all back together

[Angel_Hearted]

I find the fault of my scooter not charging is the fuse for the battery has blown. Where can I find a red fuse for a Pride Victory 10 four wheel model

[rickc]

[wainbruce]

Hi .
Yes interesting video . Thanks
Question please .
Just fitted new fully charged batteries to my scooter .
But on the monitor the last three lights don’t light up .
Any advice please as to the problem.
Is it a faulty monitor.
Or faulty battery charger ?
Thanks

Excellent video. When you tested the voltage on each battery individually, you had 11.5v and 12.5 volts. Why do you think this is and what effects do you think this will cause in the future, if anything?

[michaeldominy]

Thank you for all these valuable videos, but some things are beyond a user. This particular, and your similar videos are helpful. Could you advise on a scooter, shop rider, why the battery power shows it is falling within a few minutes, and the scooter slows down to an almost stop position.Would the speed control have any reason to cause this.? I mention this because when I turned the control knob at one point the scooter faltered.Any thoughts.?

Any idea what the battery and charg tester is called?

[richardmorley]

Dont know if you read this but where do you get that inline easy checker ?

I have an older model shoprider 3 wheeler, wondering about getting a replacement charger off ebay,
they tend to only have positive on pin1 and negative on pin2, nothing on pin3 the inhiibit wire.
I assume the batteries will still charge with these chargers but no inhibit function, can you just join the negative on pin2 to pin3 thus making pin3 negative also and making the ihibit function work?
Australia here, dont want to blow anything up.

Is it difficult to change the charging port on a shoprider delux scooter
Do you keep them in stock
