BATTERIES AND CHARGING

The Go-Chair uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable. Automotive batteries are not designed to handle a long, deep discharge, and also are unsafe for use in travel chairs.

WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

Charging the Batteries

The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your Go-Chair batteries. It is designed to optimize your travel chair’s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly, and easily.

WARNING! You must recharge your travel chair’s batteries with the supplied battery charger. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.

PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and/or property damage.

PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a properly wired standard wall outlet.

To charge the batteries with the battery box installed on the power base:

1.Position your Go-Chair next to a standard wall outlet. See figure 21.

2.

Turn off the power to the controller.

 

3.

Plug the off-board charger into the off-board charger socket

 

 

on the controller. See figure 21. Refer to VII. “Operation” for

 

 

more information.

 

4.

Plug the off-board charger into the wall outlet. See figure 21.

 

NOTE: If it is a Pride off-board charger, then there are

 

two LEDs in it. Refer to the supplied charger manual for

 

information on LED indications. If it is not a Pride off-

 

board charger, then follow the instructions supplied by the

Figure 21. Battery Charging (Battery Box Installed)

manufacturer.

1. Remove the battery box from the power base. See IV. “Assembly/Disassembly.”

WARNING! Prevent product damage! Do not remove the basket to access the battery box or battery box charger port.

2.Position the battery box next to a standard wall outlet.

3.Plug the off-board charger into the battery box charger port.
