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 and

of the deep cycle type.

• When you buy a replacement, insist on a deep cycle 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 Batteri s:
	•	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.
		Nev	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.
