FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the charger work?
Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging
instructions.
Can I use a different charger?
No. Any charging method using any other charger than the one
supplied with your power chair is especially prohibited.
What if my power chair's battery will not charge?
Ensure that the fuse on the battery is in working condition.
Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
Ensure the charge LED, located on the charger, is operating as
indicated in the charger manual.
How often must I charge the battery?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your power chair's battery:
All day use on a daily basis.
Infrequent or sporadic use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your power
chair's batteries. You may encounter some problems if you do not charge your battery often enough and if you do
not charge it on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation
and charging.
If you use your power chair daily, charge its battery as soon as you finish using it for the day.
If you use your power chair once a week or less, charge its battery at least once a week.
Never store your power chair with a fully discharged battery.
NOTE: Your power chair's battery should only be charged at room temperature. Avoid charging the battery in
extreme temperature environments such as hot cars, windowsills, hot or cold garages. Avoid heat-generating
environments. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Lithium batteries perform best with short or interval charging and partial discharges. Protect your power chair
and battery from extreme heat or cold. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged,
stored in extreme temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable
performance and limited service life. The following are temperature suggestions for operation, storage, and
charging of your lithium battery.
Recommended operational temperature range:
-4°F/-20°C to 122°F/50°C (optimal range is 59°F/15°C to 77°F/25°C)
Recommended storage temperature range:
23°F/-5°C to 77°F/25°C (optimal range is 59°F/15°C to 77°F/25°C)
Recommended charging temperature range:
32°F/0°C to 104°F/40°C (optimal temperature is 68°F/20°C)
