Pride XLR USB-A Charger

XLR connectors are built with strong, rugged construction designed to withstand frequent use and potential mechanical stress, which is essential for mobility equipment used in various environments.
These connectors feature a latching or locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnections, a crucial safety feature while the device is charging or in motion.
The 3-pin design allows for a dedicated pin to be used as an "inhibit" function. This safety feature can prevent the scooter or power chair from being driven while the charging cable is still connected, minimizing the risk of accidents.
The 3-pin XLR is the widely adopted standard for charging ports across many manufacturers of mobility devices (including Pride Mobility, Jazzy, and Go-Go models). This standardization ensures broad compatibility for chargers and accessories.
The three pins (positive, negative, and a signal/ground pin) enable basic communication between the charger and the battery management system. This allows for controlled charging (e.g., stopping charging when a cell reaches maximum voltage) which can help to condition the battery and prolong its life.
Versatility for Accessories: Beyond standard chargers, the universal 3-pin port allows for a simple "plug-and-play" connection of useful accessories like the XLR USB charger, expanding the functionality of the mobility device while on the go.
The design of the port and connectors helps seal out dirt and moisture, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor and varied conditions.
