Guidelines to Prolong Battery Life
1. After using the Powerchair always charge it at
the end of the day even after a short journey.
2. If you plan not to use the Powerchair for a
prolonged amount of time, place it on charge
once a week, for a 12 to 14 hour period.
3. Always use the correct charger with the
correct batteries as recommended by the dealer.
4. If the batteries have been flat for a long time
(about 2 months) it is recommended you contact
the dealer before charging.
5. Do not charge the Powerchair in the open /
out of doors – it may rain and the battery charger
is not waterproof.
6. Keep the Powerchair in a well-ventilated area
and away from any naked flame.
7. Do not part charge the batteries. Allow the
charger to complete its cycle.
NOTE: Avoid storing the Powerchair in cold/damp
places. This will shorten battery life and may cause
deterioration in the

and charge weekly when not in use.
