Description And Use Of Battery Chargers - Invacare Pronto M91 User Manual

5 WHEELCHAIR OPERATION
 New batteries MUST be fully charged prior to initial use of the wheelchair.
As a general rule, batteries should be recharged daily to assure the longest possible life and minimize the required charging
time. Plan to recharge the batteries when it is anticipated the wheelchair will not be used for a long period of time.
The range per battery charge using recommended batteries should be approximately 5 to 9 hours of typical operation. Extensive use on inclines may
substantially reduce per charge mileage.

Description and Use of Battery Chargers

The charger automatically reduces the charge from an initially high rate to a zero reading at a fully charged condition. If left unattended, the charger
should automatically shut-off when full charge is obtained or enter a trickle charge mode to maintain the batteries depending on charger model.
There are some basic concepts which will help you understand this automatic process. They are:
Once the charger has been connected to the wheelchair and wall outlet and, if necessary, the charger has been turned on, the battery charger indicator
lights will flash and light to show the battery charger status and condition of batteries to be charged. Refer to owner's manual shipped with battery
charger.
WARNING
NEVER leave the charger unattended when the breaker has tripped. A fault condition exists. Unplug and discontinue using
immediately. Contact an Invacare dealer.
If the batteries need to be charged more often or take longer to charge than normal, they may need to be replaced.

Contact an Invacare dealer for service.
The batteries can be charged using the on-board battery charger or by plugging an independent battery charger into the
port located on the front of the SPJ-80/DPJ/CMPJ joysticks.
