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.

chair.

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

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

batteries, then remove the battery pack from the power chair by pulling up on the
handle.
