Page 16: Batteries And Charging
Batteries and Charging Batteries and Charging Your power chair uses one long-lasting Lithium-Ion battery. This battery is sealed and maintenance- free. Since it is sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Lithium-Ion batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable. - Page 17 Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information. NOTE: The Feather Power Chair battery can be charged with the battery box either installed on or removed from the power base.
