Using unauthorized chargers may also result in severe damage to the batteries

and/or damage to the chair. Using the wrong charger may also be a hazard.

OPERATIONAL RANGE

Depending on the use, the terrain, and the driving conditions, the batteries will provide

up to 16.5 miles of operation on your Alanté.

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 12 on page 17.
