It sounds like you have done everything you can do. You need dealer servicing. It may be a controller issue.

Do you mean a charger plugged in for four months ? or the battery pack on the scooter for four months ? if it not charging and left on the scooter they will discharge and may never recover.

Leaving it on charge for four months ?, the charger will go into trickle charge mode once it fully charged the batteries, manufacturers will agree this is a good thing , if left for weeks and weeks , it should be charged up fully once a week if not in use and i recommend removing the battery case as i seen issues arise from leaving a battery pack on a scooter for long periods of time, for starters they discharge quicker,.

Hi U can leave it on all night when the batteries r charged it will stop . when green light is ( on) the charger they r charged..... Cheers

Sounds your batteries are to low in voltage for the charger to recognize. Also check the fuse on the battery box, normally a red one 10amps.

First is a question.. Is the charger you received one for the GOGO Ultra?.. or is it one that you want to work with the GOGO? The reason I ask is that the three pins on the charger are the positive, negative, and sensing lines. The charger applies a high charge current to a drained battery and lowers the charge as the battery voltage rises. This is why it takes about 24 hours to fully charge the batteries since the charge current tapers off as the battery rises to fully charged. This is done to keep the batteries from suffering thermal shock at the end of their charge cycle. The correct replacement charger should have the three pins already on it and should simply plug into the battery socket with the three female pins aligned to the male ones. If yours only has two pins, it is the wrong charger, and could damage your scooter by an uncontrolled curtent being applied to the batteries.

One could fabricate the control line by applying a load resister from the + line to the control pin, which would appear to the charger as the battery being a lower voltage, but this would possibly cause a lot of grief to the scooter more than likely.

The batteries MUST be Gel-Cell batteries too... do NOT buy tractor batteries to install on the scooter because Gel-Cells are made for a constant draw for an extended period of time such as when you drive around the block, as opposed to lead-acid batteries which are made to have only a quick power draw such as starting an engine for a couple of seconds. This is a difference in cost from $20 to $100 for example. This will destroy your charger as well as boil out the water in the lead acid batteries... Don't do this.

Your GOGO should have a 2 year warranty, so I suggest checking to see if yours is in that time frame to get the charger covered hopefully.

Look at the operator manual here:

I work on these scooters on a regular basis, and have seen this before. I hope this helps some as well.

Here is a link to a charger on ebay currently that I see for around $13.00 to look at:http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/180533905508?lpid=82

I hope this helps you there. Let me know if I can be of further help to you.

With a Pride Scooter the charger will turn green if its fully charged and if there is a bad connection in the wiring with the batteries. If you plug in the charger and the light comes on green right away then there is a problem with the wiring or connections. Take a voltmeter and read the voltage at each battery. Fully charged they should be 13-15 volts each. If they are less than 12 volts then they are not charged and the charger is not working correctly. If the batteries are really low like less than 8 volts each then the scooter might not come on at all. If you find that the batteries have at least 12 volts or more then there is a wiring problem from the rear of the scooter to the front tiller. Pride has a habit of developing problems in the harness running from the rear to the tiller. My suggestion is to contact your provider (where you got the scooter) and have them troubleshoot the scooter. If the scooter is less than a year old then it should be under warranty and your provider will have to fix it under warranty. Sorry I don't have a quick fix for you but scooters are notoriously bad to troubleshoot and repair, especially long distance. Hope this helps you

Charge the batteries fully and remove the battery pack from the scooter. About once a month charge the battery pack. It shouldn't take long to charge since you are not using the scooter Don't overcharge when the light on the charger turns green turn it off and unplug it from the battery pack. This should keep the batteries fully charged and fresh when FIL gets back home. Hope this helps you

Hi Linda. Sometimes if there is a blown fuse or faulty connector on the battery leads, the charger thinks the batteries are charged as the voltage coming out of the charger rises to the high level. Some chargers will cut out if this happens. It is probably not the charger.
Make sure the batteries are plugged in correctly, sometimes during transport they will get knocked and become disconnected.
Also make sure that the battery terminals are not loose where the wires connect to the batteries.
Good luck. Neil.
