ATTEnTIOn!
Battery damage!
Driving over a longer period of time in the red
range will discharge the battery completely and
damage the battery. There is a risk that the
power wheelchair may stop due to zero battery
capacity and bring the user into a dangerous
situation.
The remaining battery capacity determines the distance
range of the power wheelchair. The battery capacity is
influenced by many factors. Besides the temperature, the
age of the batteries and the time and extent of driving,
the way you charge the batteries also has a considera-
ble effect on their capacity and thus on the distance
range.
For an optimal charging frequency the following applies:

the charging process is complete, the battery
charger can remain connected with no risk of
overcharging or damaging the battery. The battery
charger features a programmed recharging phase
