9.1.1 Short-term storage

In case a serious fault is detected, a number of safety
mechanisms are built into your mobility device and will
protect it. The power module prevents your mobility device
from driving.
When the mobility device is in such a condition and while
waiting for repair:
1. Switch off power.
2. Disconnect the battery pack.
Refer to the corresponding chapter about disconnecting
the battery pack, ALBER esprit user manual.
3. Contact your authorized dealer.

9.1.2 Long-term storage

In case your mobility device is not used for a longer period
of time, you need to prepare it for storage to ensure a
longer life for your mobility device and battery pack.
Storing mobility device and battery pack
• We recommend to store the mobility device at a
temperature of 15° to 25° C, avoid hot and cold
extremes when storing to ensure a long service life of
the product and battery pack.
• The components are tested and approved for greater
temperature ranges as detailed below:
– Allowable temperature range to store the mobility
device is -40° up to 65° C.
– Allowable temperature range to store batteries is
-25° up to 65° C.
• Even not being used, battery pack discharge themselves.
Best practice is to disconnect the battery supply from
the power module if storing the mobility device longer
than two weeks. Refer to the corresponding chapter
about disconnecting the battery pack, ALBER esprit user
manual. If in doubt which cable to disconnect, contact
your authorized dealer.
• Battery pack should always be fully charged before
storing.
• If storing the mobility device longer than four weeks,
check the battery pack once a month and recharge as
needed (before gauge reads half full) to avoid damage.
• Store in a dry, well-ventilated environment protected
from outer influences.
