7.3.2 General Instructions on Charging
Follow the instructions listed below to ensure safe use
and longevity of the batteries:
Charge 18 hours prior to initial usage.
l
We recommend charging the batteries
l
daily after every discharge even after
partly discharge, as well as overnight.
Depending on the level of discharge, it
can take up to 12 hours until the
batteries are fully charged again.
When the battery indicator reaches the red
l
LED range, charge the batteries for at least 16
hours, even if the display reads that the charge
is complete.
Try to provide a 24 hour charge once a
l
week to make sure that both batteries
are fully charged.
Do not cycle your batteries at a low state of
l
charge without regularly recharging them fully.
Do not charge your batteries under extreme
l
temperatures. High temperatures above 86°F
(30°C) are not recommended for charging as
well as low temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Use only charging devices in Class 2. This class
l
of chargers may be left unattended during
charging. All charging devices which are
supplied by Invacare comply with these
requirements.
You cannot overcharge the batteries when
l
using the charger supplied with your
mobility device, or a charger that has
been approved by Invacare.
Protect your charger from sources of heat such
l
as heaters and direct sunlight. If the battery
charger overheats, charging current will be
reduced and the charging process delayed.
