Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ)
I want to transport my Powerchair in a car.
You may need to use hoists and / or ramps to load
and unload the Rascal Rhythm SL Powerchair into
and out of a car or similar vehicle. The dealer can
advise you on the correct equipment to be used
depending on the Powerchair and the physical
capabilities. Please remember that the Rascal
Rhythm SL Powerchair is heavy and will require a
large car, MPV or van to enable transportation.
Can I fit weatherproofing such as a canopy?
Please contact the dealer to discuss the various
options available.
How long will my batteries last?
This is a difficult question as it depends on many
factors. The life of a battery depends upon the
number of cycles the battery goes through, the peak
loads and on the conditions of use. Some general
advice about battery care:
•
Keep charged, and do not let the battery run
completely flat.
•
Ensure the batteries are fully charged at the
end of the charging cycle.
•
Batteries may not perform as well in very
cold or very hot weather.
Ask you dealer to test and replace the batteries if
they have reached the end of their useful life. Care
can prolong the life of the batteries but remember
that, in time, all batteries will fail to operate to
specification and degrade in performance.
What range can I expect?
The generally 'up to' maximum theoretical range is
recorded in the Technical Specification section.
Remember, range can be affected by many things
such as:
-Temperature - Cold/Hot weather can reduce the
output of the batteries and Powerchair motor.
-Frequent stopping and starting.
-Type of terrain - Climbing hills and inclines takes
more energy than driving on the flat.
-Weight of the person and objects carried.
-Tyre condition.
-The condition and state of charge of the
batteries.
-Faulty or old batteries, or a faulty charger.
Always use the correct charger with the correct
batteries and ensure the Powerchair is fully charged
before using.
