Batteries Smartie

The Shoprider Smartie PowerChair is the next generation Powerchair with new Envirofriendly battery technology.

The Smartie’s battery, called Envirofriendly battery, is a phosphate based lithium iron battery that is inherently safe for the environment. The Envirofriendly battery has many features and benefits including:

•Virtually zero maintenance over the long life of the battery, saving from high maintenance costs and wasted time

•Lightweight, high performance, high energy (2 times energy at same size and three times energy at same weight as standard SLA batteries)

•Outstanding charging cycles ability. Increased charging cycles at 80% depth of discharge and excellent deep discharge capability

•No battery memory effect. No loss of capacity at partial depths of discharge/charge

•No battery damage on full depth of discharge. Realize full capacity of battery: no wasteful over-sizing needed. Low capacity loss discharge rates increase. More usable energy at high discharge rates. No temporary voltage drop. Protects sensitive equipment from damage

•Sleep mode (low self-discharge). No seasonal conditioning needed for long term storage. No sudden death syndrome. Linear and predictable battery fade is reliable down to 50% of original capacity

•No explosive hydrogen gassing. No corrosion on battery terminals. No free electrolyte. No equalization charge needed. No wasted time babysitting batteries. Flat discharges curve over time. Maintains higher voltage/power even at end of charge

•Environmentally friendly. Below EPA toxicity (TCLP). No recycling needed. Check and follow local laws governing proper disposal. **Note**Due to Smartie’s high energy battery, the VSI battery indicator will show a full charge until batteries are close to complete discharge. It is highly recommended that inactive users charge the batteries at least twice a week or more and active users charge the batteries everyday. You cannot overcharge the batteries. Charging usually takes no more than 2.5 hours for the Smartie but can take up to 5 hours if battery pack is completely discharged.

•**WARNING** Do not drop. Handle with care. Do not connect the terminals with any foreign matter. Must charge up the battery with the factory approved charger. Without factory written approval, do not modify, disassemble or use this battery pack for any others purposes. Keep away from fire, heat or water.
