Batteries and charging
Safety and caution notes
1. The charger is designed for
indoor use. Do not use outdoors
or expose to rain, snow, spray or
moisture.
2. Use only with Sonnenschein
dryfit Gel type batteries of the
A200, A500 or A500C groups
when employed in cyclic mode.
3. The charger may be used with
other brands of Gel type
batteries, subject to written
confirmation from the Technical
Department of Sunrise Medical.
4. Do not smoke, or create sparks
or flames in the vicinity of the
batteries.
5. Avoid standing the charger on
carpets or rugs during use and
do not cover the ventilation slots
of the charger or allow objects to
rest on the case.
6. Do not attempt to recharge other
types of batteries such as car
batteries, non-rechargeable
batteries, AGM sealed batteries,
wet electrolyte batteries or
batteries of the wrong voltage.
7. Repairs should only be carried
out by Sunrise Medical.
8. The charger is designed for
mains input voltages of 220V AC
to 240V AC, for chargers to
operate with 110V AC (in
countries such as USA or North
America), a different charger will
be needed, please consult local
Sunrise Medical Dealer.
9. Use of an attachment, not
recommended or sold by
Sunrise Medical, may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock or
injury to persons. To reduce the
risk of damage to electric plug
and cord, pull by the plug rather
than the cord when disconnecting
the charger. Make sure the cord
is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage
or stress. An extension cord
should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of an
improper extension cord could
result in a risk of fire and electric
shock. If any extension cord
must be used, make sure the
pins on the plug of the extension
cord are the same number, size
and shape as those of the plug
on the charger; and that the
extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition.
At that point the battery is about
85% - 90% charged. It is
essential to provide a full
recharge at the first opportunity.
5. Do not leave the charger
connected to the battery with the
mains disconnected or switched
off. This could result in damage
to your battery being caused by
deep discharge over a period of
time.
6. Always switch off at the mains
before disconnecting the
batteries.
