CHARGING BATTERIES

The battery charger supplied with the wheel chair was developed to charge the batteries fitted to these products. Using alternatives will damage the batteries which are fitted as standard and invalidate the warranty on these components.

The charger and electronic controller are designed to prevent the wheelchair operating during the charging process.

Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the battery charger for a detailed description of the battery charging.

If the mains lead needs to be extended, make sure an approved adaptor is used. DO NOT extend the charger lead to the chair.

Ensure that both battery charger leads are safely routed so that they cannot be tripped over. When charging is completed, safely stow the leads away to avoid danger when driving away.

BATTERIES

The batteries fitted as standard to the wheelchair are sealed ‘Gel’ batteries and therefore cannot be spilled like conventional ‘wet’ batteries. Keeping the chair working to its maximum potential means that the batteries must be cared for and correctly charged. Nightly re-charging is necessary if the chair has been used during the day to ensure that the chair is ready for use the following day. A separate booklet is supplied as a guide to the care and performance of the batteries and charger.

Powered wheelchair batteries do not maintain a constant full battery charge level as an automobile battery; therefore, a shorter battery life can be expected. For maximum battery life maintain batteries as described.
