Invacare® Storm®⁴ Series
WARNING!
Risk of injury if using the mobility device during
charging
– DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and
operate the mobility device at the same time.
– DO NOT sit in the mobility device while
charging the batteries.
1. Switch off mobility device.
2. Connect battery charger to charger socket.
3. Connect battery charger to power supply.
7.2.4 Disconnecting Mobility Device After Charging
1. Once charging is complete, first disconnect battery
charger from power supply, then disconnect plug from
remote.
7.2.5 Storage and Maintenance
Follow the instructions listed below to ensure safe use and
longevity of the batteries:
•
Always store the batteries fully charged.
•
Do not leave the batteries in a low state of charge
for an extended length of time. Charge a discharged
battery as soon as possible.
•
In case your mobility device is not used for a longer
period of time (that is more than two weeks), the
batteries must be charged at least once a month to
maintain a full charge and always be charged before
use.
•
Avoid hot and cold extremes when storing. We
recommend to store batteries at a temperature of 15
°C.

•
Gel and AGM batteries are maintenance-free. Any
performance issues should be handled by a properly
trained mobility device technician.
7.2.6 Instructions on Using Batteries
CAUTION!
Risk of damaging the batteries.
– Avoid ultra-deep discharges and never drain
your batteries completely.
•
Pay attention to the Battery Charge Indicator! Charge
the batteries when the Battery Charge Indicator shows
that battery charge is low.
How fast the batteries discharge depends on many
circumstances, such as ambient temperature, condition
of the surface of the road, tire pressure, weight of the
driver, way of driving and utilisation of lighting, if fitted.
•
Try to charge the batteries always before you reach the
red LED range.
The last 3 LED (two red and one orange) mean a
remaining capacity of about 15 %.
•
Driving with flashing red LED's means an extreme stress
for the battery and should be avoided under normal
circumstances.
•
When only one red LED is flashing, the Battery
Safe feature is enabled. From this time, speed and
acceleration is reduced drastically. It will allow you to
move the mobility device slowly out of a dangerous
situation before the electronic finally cuts off. This is
deep discharging and should be avoided.
