Batteries; Removing And Replacing Batteries - Vermeiren RAPIDO Instruction Manual

Take care that all plugs (charger and, on occasion, the programming unit) are removed before
setting the wheelchair in motion.
Check that the steering lever is in the neutral central position when you push the on/off button,
since the electronics are inactive otherwise. You can eliminate this barrier by switching the
steering off and then on again.
Your speed should be adapted to environmental conditions.

BATTERIES

The standard batteries fitted in your electric wheelchair are two gel batteries rated at 12 V / 38 Ah.
These batteries provide the motive power. The starter batteries installed in motorcars are not suitable
for electric wheelchairs.
Being completely closed, these batteries do not require refilling. The initial filling is sufficient for the
working life of the batteries. If, after long use, the batteries produce insufficient power or when they are
damaged, you must replace both batteries. Leave this to your dealer.
Only use genuine original batteries. We accept no liability for damage caused by other
batteries not supplied by us.
The batteries must not be exposed to temperatures below –5° Celsius and above 50° Celsius.
(Basically batteries lose their capacity with increasing cold.)
If the batteries are opened, the liability of the manufacturer is voided as well as any warranty
claim.
