Charging Batteries - Quickie Q50 R Carbon Directions For Use Manual

6.3 Charging batteries:

The general procedures and effects for the interference with the
chair and the batteries remain valid.
Battery care plan
Below is set out a battery care plan for maintenance free
batteries. This has been agreed with the battery manufacturers,
to enable you to get the best out of your batteries. If a different
care plan is followed, this may result in lower than expected
performance from your mobility vehicle.
• Only use the approved charger compatible with the wheelchair
to be charged.
• Charge your batteries every night, regardless of the amount of
use your mobility device has had during the day.
• Charge the batteries in a well ventilated area.
• Do not interrupt the charging cycle.
• If your mobility device is not required for use, it should remain
connected to the charger until required. This will not damage
your batteries, as long as the mains socket/plug is left switched
on. Turning the mains socket/plug off, but leaving the mains
cable plugged in will eventually deplete your battery charge.
• If you leave your vehicle for an extended period (more than 15
days) charge the battery fully and then disconnect the main
battery lead.
• Failure to allow for recharge will damage the batteries and can
lead to shortened distances and premature failure.
• Do not top up the charge of your batteries during the day. Wait
until the evening for a full overnight charge.
• Following all the points above should result in a healthier
battery, greater range for the vehicle user and a longer life for
your batteries.
Charging Methods
Connect the input plug of charger to the standard power outlet
and connect the output plug of charger to the controller socket
for charging, or detach the battery for charging by connecting
interface on the battery box.
WARNING!
Please do not operate the wheelchair while charging.
Back up battery
A second battery can be purchased for back up power supply - it
can be stored on board the chair. Description of two batteries of
the wheelchair: As shown in Figure 6.2 & 6.3, the area in which
there is an output interface is called area A; The other area with
no output interface is called area B. The battery installed in area
A is used for power supply, while the battery installed in area B is
only a backup battery. To use the back up battery please unscrew
2 screws located on the battery box using a small crosshead
screwdriver, then the cover can be removed (Fig. 6.3).
