My pride mobility victory scooter will not charge

Is the charger getting power? Is the power reaching the battery pack to charge them? If you answer yes to both questions then something has to be wrong with the battery pack.

There are a few things to consider with this type of problem.

How old are the batteries. When did you last have them tested. Is the charger output ok on load (test with an amp clamp type meter). is the charger the correct one for these batteries, small output chargers take longer to charge big batteries. Are all connection tight on batteries and anything to do with the charging circuit. Plug and socket type connection do fail on poor connections. Check voltage on batteries when on charge and off charge to see if the charger voltage is getting through to the batteries.

Did someone qualified tell you that you needed new batteries?. I would go back to the battery supplier & go from there.ALSO,if you still have the old ones can they be tested too.Ask them,i hope this helped.Colin

hi, well how old is the V10 ? please remember a pair of batteries is only as good as the charger...

make sure battery cables are secure at battery terminals and clean.how old are the batteries.If the batteries run down fast they are no good.a good way to test them is put scooter against some thing solid and go forward.If the battery indicator drops to o the batteries are no good.It takes about 10 hours to charge the batteries

Is there a power switch on the charger? Is charger connected to the battery? Are the batteries fully charged?

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

That's easy. You said it was 2 years old. You need batteries. And be thankful they lasted 2 years.

Have the batteries tested with a load tester. Usually when it starts to move slow it means the batteries are going.

A fully charged battery should be over 12 volts. You may need to change your batteries.
