Batteries and charging

WARNING

Do not rest a battery on top of the charger. Do not stand the charger on a carpet or other soft surface. Always place it on a hard surface.

Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way, take it to a qualified technician.

Do not disassemble charger; only have it repaired by the manufacturers. Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

Turning off the controls will not reduce the risk.

Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged; gases from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.

Never Smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or charger. Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on to the battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts, that may cause an explosion. Also take off all personal metal effects and dangling objects when working on the battery.

Never charge a frozen battery. A fully charged battery will rarely freeze but the electrolyte of a discharged battery can freeze at 16°Fahrenheit (-9° Centigrade), any battery that is suspected of being frozen should be thawed completely before charging.

Note: When buying replacement batteries always consult your Sunrise Medical service agent.

Note: Before using your vehicle for the very first time, please charge the batteries for a period of 24 hours.
