Page 35: Batteries And Charging
Batteries and Charging Batteries and Charging Your power chair uses one or two 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 36 PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access. PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet. PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the power chair while the battery is charging.
