The range per battery charge using recommended batteries should be approximately 5 to 9 hours of typical operation. Extensive use on inclines may substantially reduce per charge mileage.

Description and Use of Battery Chargers

The charger automatically reduces the charge from an initially high rate to a zero reading at a fully charged condition. If left unattended, the charger should automatically shut-off when full charge is obtained or enter a trickle charge mode to maintain the batteries depending on charger model.

There are some basic concepts which will help you understand this automatic process. They are:

Once the charger has been connected to the personal transporter and wall outlet and, if necessary, the charger has been turned on, the battery charger indicator lights will flash and light to show the battery charger status and condition of batteries to be charged. Refer to owner’s manual shipped with battery charger.

WARNING!

– NEVER leave the charger unattended when the breaker has tripped. A fault condition exists. Unplug and discontinue using immediately. Contact an Invacare dealer.

If performing the charging procedures, READ and CAREFULLY follow the individual instructions for each charger (supplied or purchased).

If charging instructions are not supplied, consult a qualified service technician for proper procedures.

1.Attach the battery charger connector to the charger port A on the joystick.

2.Plug the charger’s AC power cord, or extension, into the grounded 120 VAC wall outlet.

3.Wait until charging is complete.

Allow eight hours for normal charging. Larger batteries (greater than 55 ampere-hours) or severely discharged batteries may require up to sixteen hours to be properly charged and equalized.

It is advantageous to recharge frequently rather than only when necessary. In fact, a battery’s life is extended if the charge level is maintained well above a low condition.

If the batteries need to be charged more often or take longer to charge than normal, they may need to be replaced. Contact an Invacare dealer for service.
