Batteries

Your wheelchair is equipped with two, maintenance free batteries (2 x 12V 38Ah). As a conse-
quence it is not necessary to refill the batteries as the filling has been calculated for the whole
life span of the batteries.

The batteries may only be charged with the battery charger that has been delivered with your
wheelchair. This battery charger is programmed on the right loading curve in accordance with
your batteries.

the batteries when you use another battery charger, one that has not been designed for your
wheelchair. Please follow the operating instructions of the batteries and the battery charger to
the letter. This is the only way to ensure your own safety and guarantee a long life span for
