Batteries And Storage - Permobil Explorer Mini User Manual

Batteries and storage

Do not store the Explorer Mini in areas with condensation and moisture on the
surfaces, for example laundry rooms.
6.2.1 Short-term storage
For short-term storage of the batteries, the room must be at least 5°C (41°F).
If the temperature is lower, the batteries might not charge fully and can be
more exposed to corrosion.
6.2.2 Long-term storage
It is not necessary to heat the room where the batteries are stored long-term,
but to prevent corrosion to the batteries, it is recommended to keep the room
a few degrees warmer than outdoors. This will keep the room drier.
Batteries that are kept for long-term storage must be charged every six
months.
Always store the Explorer Mini in an upright position. Do not put heavy objects
on the wheelchair. The plastic parts on the Explorer Mini can be damaged if
they are exposed to mechanical forces during the long-term storage.
Follow the instructions below to prepare the wheelchair for long-term storage:
• Make sure that the batteries are fully charged before the long-term
storage.
• Turn off the main circuit breaker to prevent that the batteries become
completely discharged.
