When to recharge the batteries
To get the most out of the batteries with regard to running time each time they
are charged as well as total lifetime, the batteries should be charged regularly.
Always turn the wheelchair off when it is not in use and avoid running the bat-
teries completely flat. Make a habit of charging the batteries whenever you are
not using the wheelchair. You can see from the indicator on the manoeuvring
panel of the wheelchair when the batteries are running low.
If you do run the batteries completely flat, it is important that you charge them up
again as soon as possible, since running the batteries completely flat will short-
en their lifetime.
The charging cable on the charger must not be extended.
The charger may become warm, and should not be covered. The charger
must be placed so that there is an air space all round it.
The charging plug must be replaced if it is damaged or heats up while
charging. The switch on the flex to the charger and the charging socket on
the wheelchair should both be replaced if either of them is damaged or
worn. Replacement of plugs should be carried out by a qualified person.
