Battery Break-in

To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does the charger work?

The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage of 120 VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 24 VDC (direct current). The Go-Chair batteries use direct current to run your Go-Chair. When the battery voltage is low, the charger works harder to charge the battery).

Can I use a different battery charger?

You should use the charger supplied with the Go-Chair. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries. We do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger).

NOTE: Your travel chair’s charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero voltage. If this happens, call an authorized Pride Provider for assistance.

How often must I charge the batteries?

Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your Go-Chair all day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.

!Daily Use

If you use your Go-Chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your Go-Chair. Your Go-Chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. It is recommended that you charge the batteries 8 to 14 hours after daily use.

!Infrequent Use

If you use your Go-Chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per week for 12 to 14 hours.
