Batteries and charging
Maintenance free battery care plan
1Only use an approved Sunrise Medical charger compatible with the vehicle to be charged.
2Charge your batteries every night, regardless of the amount of use your mobility device has had during the day.
3Do not interrupt the charging cycle.
4If your mobility device is not required for use, it should remain connected to the charger until required. This will not damage your batteries, so long as the mains socket/plug is left switched on. Turning the mains socket/plug off, but leaving the mains cable plugged in will eventually deplete your battery charge.
5If you leave your vehicle for an extended period (more than 5 days) disconnect the main battery lead.
6Failure to allow for recharge will damage the batteries and can lead to shortened distances and premature failure.
7Do not top up the charge of your batteries during the day. Wait until the evening for a full overnight charge.
8As a general rule, maintenance free batteries take longer to fully charge than lead acid batteries.
9The battery terminals need to be checked regularly for signs of corrosion. If any corrosion is apparent, then clean the terminals completely (a wire brush is ideal) and
10Following all the points above should result in a healthier battery, greater range for the vehicle user and a longer life for your batteries.
Do not expose any part of the battery to direct heat (i.e. naked flame, gas fire).
When charging always place on a hard surface in a room with good ventilation.
You should not charge your batteries in outdoor conditions
