Your Pride Baja Bandit was built to leave the pavement behind. Eight miles per hour, 400 pounds of capacity, real ground clearance, and a 53 inch turning radius that keeps it usable indoors when the adventure is over. All of that runs on a single lithium ion battery pack rather than the heavy lead acid pairs older outdoor scooters carry, which is a large part of why the Bandit stays light enough for feather touch disassembly. When the pack fades, so does the range that made the Bandit worth choosing.
Pride offered the Bandit in two battery configurations, so check which one your scooter carries before ordering. The 36 volt, 20 amp hour pack is the standard configuration, replacing Pride part BAT2204149, and delivers roughly 11 miles at the full 400 pound capacity. The 36 volt, 40 amp hour pack is the extended range configuration, reaching up to 29 miles at 220 pounds and 22.5 miles at 400 pounds, effectively doubling how far you can go before turning back. If your riding takes you out on trails rather than around the block, the 40Ah pack is the one that changes your day.
Every lithium battery we sell is tested before it ships, verified against your model’s charging system, and protected by a built in battery management system that guards against overcharging, overheating, over discharge, and short circuits. Lithium also holds its charge for months in storage and typically delivers three to five years of service, which matters on a scooter that may sit through a winter between adventures.
Your battery ships partially charged, which is standard for safe lithium transport, so charge it fully before your first ride. One thing worth knowing: a lithium pack’s management system can enter protection mode during shipping or storage, and a pack in protection mode may briefly read as having no voltage. That is normal, not a defect, and connecting your charger usually wakes it up. If yours does not respond, call us rather than guessing and we will work through it with you.
Installation takes minutes with no tools: power off the scooter, release the old pack, seat the new one until it locks, and power back on. Always use a charger intended for lithium batteries, never a lead acid charger. Every battery carries our 12 month warranty, shipping is free, your order leaves our warehouse within three business days, and real people answer our phone whenever you have a question.
