E. CHARGING BATTERIES
To avoid the risk of severe injury or death from electrical shock, fire or
explosion while charging:
1. Ensure the charger is connected to the correct source (110V or (230V in Europe)).
2. Never touch the charger after it is connected to an electrical outlet. This may cause electrical
shock.
• Never connect or disconnect charger from battery while there is power to the charger.
3. Never use an extension cord. Use of an improper cord could damage the charger or cause a fire
or electrical shock.
4. A battery emits explosive hydrogen gas during charging. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
• Make sure area is well vented. Never charge battery in a closed-in area.
• Never smoke or allow a spark, flame or high heat near battery during charging.
• Never allow metal tools or chair parts to make direct contact across both battery terminals.
ALWAYS:
1. Use the charger that comes with your wheelchair. Read and follow all instructions and warnings.
2. Make sure room is well ventilated.
3. Turn off all power to your chair.
4. Connect and disconnect battery cables with caution.
5. Make sure to allow enough time to fully charge batteries.
NOTE– Batteries should never be left for long periods in the discharged state. Unused or stored batteries
should be given a charge once per month.
6. Use the off-board charger by plugging it into the VR2 controller or by plugging it into the charger
port on the top side of the battery case.
F. DISPOSING OF BATTERIES
1. All batteries once they have reached the end of their useful life are deemed to be hazardous
waste.
2. For further information on handling and recycling contact your local
recycling authority.
3. Always dispose of product through a recognized agent.
