Batteries and charging

Batteries

The batteries are contained within a box located under the seat. To remove the batteries should they require changing or maintenance, first disconnect the 6 pin connector then lift the rear handle and pull the tray backwards. The tray will lock tow thirds of the way out, (Fig. 50) unplug the batteries connection plug. We suggest you remove the batteries one at a time as they are heavy. To remove the battery tray tilt the rear handle up, push the tray forwards and unhook the tray from the rear runners. To refit the tray reverse the process.

You must ensure that the tray is securely locked into place and cannot slide back prior to use. If it is not correctly fitted it could cause your wheelchair to be unstable on slopes.

Safety cut-outs

In the event of a short circuit there are safety systems built into your wheelchair to safeguard your electrical circuits. Cut-outs (Fig. 51) are positioned on the battery box rear, and are 15 amp for the controller and motors, they automatically cut off the power. Inspect the cut-out buttons and you will see which has tripped by the extension of the button. After a few seconds push the button in to resume. If a problem persists contact your local Sunrise Medical service dealer.
