Batteries

The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on
the use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries. Invacare strongly
recommends their use as the power source for this unit.
Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or
operating your wheelchair.
The use of rubber gloves is recommended when working with batteries.
Some battery manufacturers mold a carrying strap and/or hold down flanges
directly into the battery case. Batteries that interfere with the battery box cannot
be used for these applications. Attempting to "wedge" a battery into a battery box
may damage the box, the battery and/or be a fire hazard, resulting in serious injury
or further damage to property.
