A.INTRODUCTION
1. Notes:
•Batteries supply the power for your chair.They contain a finite amount of energy and have limits on how long they can store and supply energy.
•You can charge batteries only a certain number of times before they will fail and no longer hold a charge.
•For answers to questions about batteries, consult your Sunrise supplier.
2. Use Proper Batteries:
Your chair operates on two 12 volt batteries.
•They should be 22 NF or U1 size with a minimum of 30 ampere hour rat- ing. Only deep cycle sealed case construction batteries should be used in this device.
•When you buy a replacement, insist on a deep cycle sealed case type. Do not use a car starter battery.
3.Breaking In:
•A battery requires
•It is best to limit the length of your trips until you break the batteries in and you know the range of your chair.
4.Discharged Batteries:
•Never allow a battery to completely discharge. If you operate your wheelchair until it has almost stopped, you will greatly reduce the life of your batteries.
•Never let a battery sit in a discharged condition. Give unused or stored batteries a full charge once per month.
•Always fully charge the batteries. Avoid “topping off” with frequent charges.
Never connect a life support or auxiliary device to a wheelchair battery.The electrical
system may fail, and result in severe injury to or death of rider.
