VIII. BATTERY CHARGING
You must use only the charger that is supplied with your Alante DX/LT™. The use of any other charger on this power chair will void the warranty. Using unauthorized chargers may also result in severe damage to the batteries and/or damage to the chair. Using the wrong charger may also be a hazard.
OPERATIONAL RANGE
Depending on the use, the terrain, and the driving conditions, the batteries will provide up to 8 miles of operation on your Alante DX™, or 6.6 miles on your Alante LT™.
♦We recommend that you charge the batteries when necessary. Battery charging should be treated similarly to fuel in a car. You would not go on a long trip with low fuel or fill up when almost full.
