Merits Silverado Extreme Battery
Merits Silverado Extreme Battery Replacement Service
Maximum Power for the "SUV" of Mobility Scooters. We Come to You.
The Merits Silverado Extreme (Model S941L) is built for one purpose: dominance. With its aggressive full suspension, large 14-inch pneumatic tires, and powerful 4-pole motor, it is designed to conquer gravel paths, steep driveways, and uneven terrain that would stop a lesser scooter in its tracks.
But "Extreme" performance requires extreme energy. Driving off-road or climbing hills draws massive amperage from your battery bank. If your Silverado is struggling to maintain its top speed of 15 km/h, or if the battery gauge dips dangerously low after just a short ride, your power plant is no longer keeping up with the machine's capabilities.
At MobileBattery, we specialize in the high-torque demands of the Merits Extreme series. We bring the heavy-duty power this beast requires directly to your home, ensuring you can tackle the outdoors with confidence.
The Silverado Power Spec: Don't Starve the Motor
The Silverado Extreme is a "Class 3" heavy-duty mobility device. It relies on the industrial Group 24 battery standard to feed its hungry motor.
The "Voltage Sag" Threat: Because the Silverado is heavy (over 350 lbs with batteries) and carries a rider weight of up to 450 lbs, it puts immense load on its batteries. Installing cheap "General Purpose" batteries often results in Voltage Sag—where the scooter jerky or cuts out completely on steep hills because the battery can't deliver power fast enough.
The MobileBattery Standard: We exclusively install High-Output Traction Batteries for the Silverado Extreme.
Why: Our batteries are built with heavy-duty lead plates designed to sustain high voltage even when the motor is pulling maximum current. This ensures your Silverado climbs hills smoothly without tripping the safety breaker.
Select Your Adventure Tier
We offer three distinct power configurations for the Merits Silverado Extreme, designed to match how hard you push your machine.
Option A: The Factory Standard (AGM)
"Restored Reliability." If you use your Silverado primarily for paved trails and neighborhood cruising, this tier returns your scooter to its original factory performance.
Range: Restores the factory rating (approx. 35-45km).
Tech: 75Ah Sealed AGM (Maintenance Free).
Option B: The Off-Road Upgrade (Discover® EV Dry Cell)
"The Trail Boss." Recommended for Active Users. If you drive on grass, dirt, or in hilly areas like Burnaby Mountain or North Van, you need a battery that fights back. Discover® Dry Cell technology is engineered to resist vibration and perform in cold Canadian weather.
Torque: Maintains higher speed on inclines.
Durability: Reinforced internal construction to handle the bumps of off-road driving.
Option C: The Lithium Experience (Discover® Blue)
"The Ultimate Weight Loss." The Silverado Extreme is a heavy machine. By upgrading to Discover Blue Lithium, you strip over 50 lbs of dead weight instantly.
Performance: Lighter weight means the motor works less, giving you faster acceleration and better braking.
Smart Tech: Check your "Fuel Level" precisely via Bluetooth app—perfect for long adventures where you can't afford to guess.
Winter Ready: Self-heating technology allows for safe charging even in unheated garages.
Why Merits Owners Choose MobileBattery
The Merits Silverado Extreme is a massive piece of equipment.
The Logistics Nightmare: Transporting a Silverado Extreme to a repair shop is nearly impossible for most owners. It is too wide for standard ramps and too heavy to lift. You are often forced to pay hundreds of dollars for a specialized medical transport van just to get it to the shop.
The Mobile Solution:
We Come to You: Our fully equipped mobile workshop comes to your driveway.
Suspension Check: While we are there, we inspect your shock absorbers and tire pressure to ensure your "Extreme" suspension is working correctly.
Zero Stress: We handle the heavy lifting of the 55lb batteries and recycle your old ones for free.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the correct battery size for the Merits Silverado Extreme?
The S941L model requires two (2) 12-Volt Group 24 batteries. While the battery compartment is large, it is specifically molded for the Group 24 footprint. Do not attempt to install smaller car batteries or Group 22NF batteries—they will rattle loose and fail quickly.
My Silverado Extreme shows a "5-Flash" code. What is that?
On Merits scooters, a 5-flash code on the diagnostic light usually indicates a Brake Fault. However, this can often be triggered by weak batteries causing low voltage to the electromagnetic brake system. If your brakes feel "soft" or the code appears, call us for a diagnostic.
How far can I go on a single charge?
With a fresh set of our High-Output Group 24 batteries, the Silverado Extreme is rated for up to 50 km (30 miles) under ideal conditions. Real-world range typically lands between 35-40 km depending on hills and speed.
