7.2 Batteries
The wheelchair uses two 12V non-spillable 'dry'
gel batteries in series. These batteries are fully
sealed and require no maintenance.
Note!
Do not use 'wet' batteries.
Take into account the fact that the
wheelchair's range is reduced at low
temperatures. During a period of light frost,
the capacity is roughly 75% of the normal
capacity. At temperatures below -5˚C this will
be roughly 50%.
Charging the batteries (
Consult the user manual for the battery charger
to determine whether it is suitable for the
7.2
batteries in use (see 9.2 Technical information).
•
Switch off the wheelchair's controller.
•
Plug the battery charger's charging plug into
7.3
the charging connector on the controller.
•
Activate the battery charger. Consult the
7.4
user manual for the battery charger.
-
It is advised to mount a smoke detector in
the charging area.
Disconnect batteries in case of longer
storage without usage.
Charge the batteries if the wheelchair is not
being used for an extended period of time. The
batteries should be charged every night under
normal use. The battery charger's display will
indicate when the batteries are fully charged.
Depending on how depleted the batteries are,
it may take up to 12 hours to fully charge the
batteries again.
