km/h maximum).

6. Batteries and Maintenance

6.1 The batteries
6.1.1 Characteristics of the Batteries
Your wheelchair is equipped with sealed, maintenance free TRACTION batteries that are con-
form to the air transport standards DOT and IATA.
These batteries have been developed especially for traction of electric wheelchairs:
- « Traction » means that they are able to provide saved energy over a long period of time,
compared to starter batteries which provide a high quantity of energy for only a few minutes.
- « Sealed » means proper, but also that there is no risk of acid coming out of the battery during
charge or in case the wheelchair is turned over or fell over. There is no evaporation during the
charging process.
- « Maintenance free » means that it is not necessary to monitor the level of the battery:
The only precaution to take is to mind a proper discharge and charge. From those two opera-
tions depends the durability of your batteries and the autonomy of your wheelchair.
m
CAUTION
The use of acid batteries is absolutely prohibited with this wheelchair.
