Batteries and Charging

Your power chair uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable. Automotive batteries are not designed to handle a long, deep discharge, and also are unsafe for use in powered wheelchairs.

WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not use batteries that exceed the recommended type and amp-hour capacity. Do not use batteries with different amp-hour capacities. Refer to specifications table in this manual and in the manual suppled with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.

Charging The Batteries

The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your power chair batteries. The battery charger is designed to optimize your power chair’s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly, and easily. The charging system consists of the battery charger, the charger fuse, and the ammeter. The onboard charger is located under- neath the electronics tray. The ammeter and charger fuse are located on the electronics tray for easy viewing. See figure 6. The ammeter indicates the rate of charge being administered to fully recharge the batteries. It is also a good indication of whether or not the charger is working. The ammeter and the charger are only functional when the charger power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet.

PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and/or property damage.

PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.

WARNING! You must recharge your power chair’s batteries with the supplied onboard battery charger. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.

WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries.

WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not expose the off-board battery charger to rain or other sources of moisture unless it has been tested for outdoor use. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information.

WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the power chair and battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.

WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before each use. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if damage is found.

WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger does not appear to be working correctly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
