BATTERIES

The Powerchair is supplied with 2 x 33/34/36 Ah gel, sealed lead acid, maintenance free batteries. These are fitted under the seat in the center of the Powerchair. For easy handling, Velcro or plastic carrying straps are provided to assist in fitting or removal. The duration of the batteries can be affected by temperature, terrain and weight of the user. The Battery Gauge is a guide on the remaining charge in the batteries.

The active user will need to charge the batteries after using approximately more than 30% of battery capacity. As an inactive user, only using from once a week to every other day, the recharge point would be at 50% of discharge.

If only using for short distance each day, it is advisable to charge at the end of each week. The state of battery capacity could be referred as Fig.18.

Batteries should be kept fully charged at all times. They must not be left in a discharged state if not using the unit for some time. The batteries should be checked once a month and recharged as needed.
