A. INTRODUCTION

1.Notes–

•Batteries supply the power for your chair. They contain a finite amount of energy and have limits on how long they can store and supply energy.

•You can charge batteries only a certain number of times before they will fail and no longer hold a charge.

•For answers to questions about batteries, consult your supplier.

2.Use Proper Batteries:

Your chair operates on two 12 volt batteries.

•They should be Group 24 size with a minimum of 65 ampere hour rating. Only deep cycle sealed case construction batteries should be used in this device.

•Connecting configuration. They should have a post and clamp style connection.

•When you buy a replacement, insist on a deep cycle sealed case type. Do not use a car starter battery.

3.Breaking In:

•A battery requires “breaking-in” for the first 6 to 12 charges. It will not accept a full charge for this period.

•It is best to limit the length of your trips until you break the batteries in and you know the range of your chair.

4.Discharged Batteries:

•Never allow a battery to completely discharge. If you operate your wheelchair until it has almost stopped, you will greatly reduce the life of your batteries.

•Never let a battery sit in a discharged condition. Give unused or stored batteries a full charge once per month.

•Always fully charge the batteries. Avoid “topping off” with frequent charges.

Never connect a life support or auxiliary device to a wheelchair battery.

The electrical system may fail, and result in severe injury to or death of rider.
