10.1.1 The main fuse

The entire electric system of the wheelchair is protected against overload by two master fuses.

The master fuses are either directly mounted to the positive poles of the batteries or to the lower

side of the battery lid. They can be replaced only after dismounting the battery lid.

NOTE

A defective main fuse may be replaced only after checking the entire electric system. An

Invacare® specialised dealer must perform the replacement. You can find information on the

fuse type in chapter "Technical specifications" starting on page 105.

10.2

Power is supplied by two 12 V batteries. The batteries are maintenance-free and only need regular

charging.

In the following, you find information on how to charge, handle, transport, store, maintain, and use

batteries.

New batteries should always be fully charged once before their first use. New batteries will be at

their full capacity after having run through approx. 10 - 20 charging cycles (break-in period). This

break-in period is necessary to fully activate the battery for maximum performance and longevity.

Thus, range and running time of your mobility device could initially increase with use.

Gel/AGM lead acid batteries do not have a memory effect as NiCd batteries.
