To charge the batteries using the off-board charger:

NOTE: There are two types of off-board chargers. One is the type that plugs into the controller. If your charger plugs into the controller, then follow the instructions on the charger. The other is the type that plugs into the front battery box. If your off-board charger plugs into the front battery box, follow the instructions below. If you are not sure how to use your off-board charger, contact your authorized Pride provider.

1.Position your power chair next to a standard wall outlet.

2.Be certain the controller power is turned off.

3.Remove the run plug from the charger inhibit connector on the front battery box.

4.Plug the off-board charger into the charger inhibit connector on the front battery box.

5.Plug the off-board charger into the wall outlet.

6.Wait about a minute for the charger to warm up and check the ammeter. The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. The ammeter may move as high as 5.5 amps, then gradually move back down to 0 amps as the batteries charge.

7.We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle slowly drops to 0. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or about the 0 mark on the ammeter.

8.When your power chair’s batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger AC power cord from the wall outlet.

9.Disconnect the charger from the front battery box.

10.Reinstall the run plug into the charger inhibit connector.

Battery Break-in

We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your power chair’s specific demands. Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries encounter temperature extremes that may influence initial performance. Heat robs the charge from the battery, and cold slows the power available and extends the time needed to recharge the battery (just as with a car battery).

It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilize and adjust to its new ambient temperature. More importantly, it will take a few “charging cycles” (a partial drain— then a full recharge) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance and long life. It will be well worth it to take the time to break in your battery properly.

NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.

To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:

1.Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level.

2.Operate your power chair throughout the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and don’t stray too far until you become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.

3.Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and operate your power chair again. The batteries will now perform at over 90% of their potential.

4.After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period.
