BATTERIES AND CHARGING

Battery maintenance is the most important part of maintaining your power chair.

Keeping the batteries fully charged helps to extend battery life. Use the following

guidelines to help keep your batteries in optimum condition.

IMPORTANT! New batteries MUST be fully charged prior to the initial use of your

power chair.

Charge new batteries for 12 hours even if the battery gauge already shows a full

charge. This is to condition your new batteries for maximum performance.

• For daily use, keep batteries fully charged. We recommend that you plug in the off-

board charger after each use and charge 6-8 hours.

"For best results please charge your batteries overnight after every use."

• If you are not going to use the power chair for more than a week, fully charge the

batteries and then disconnect them from the power chair. See figure 9 on page 15.

Charging Guidelines Checklist to Maximize Battery Life

 Use only the automatic off-board charger supplied for all routine charging.

 Never use an automotive or wet type charger.

 Avoid deep discharges and never drain the batteries completely.

 Do not leave batteries in a low state of charge for extended periods. Charge a

discharged battery as soon as possible.

 Fully recharge batteries regularly.

 Always store batteries fully charged.

 Check stored batteries once a month and recharge as necessary.
