Batteries and charging

Removing/Refitting

Disconnect both the connecting lead plugs (Fig. 56), pull up the straps on either side of the rear battery and lift it out. Pull the front battery to the rear of the tray and repeat the process.

WARNING

To refit reverse the process, ensuring that the straps are folded into the battery tray. You must ensure that the tray is securely locked into place and cannot slide back prior to use. Failure to lock the battery box correctly could cause your wheelchair to be unstable.

Safety cut-outs

In the event of a short circuit, there are safety systems built into your wheelchair to safeguard your electrical circuits. Fusible links are connected on to the battery terminal posts (Fig. 57), should your chair suffer a short circuit these links will break the circuit. To replace them contact your local Sunrise Medical service dealer, who will also diagnose the fault.
