  • Page 137: The Maintenance-Free Accumulators

    21.7 The maintenance-free accumulators Your PARAVAN electric wheelchair is fitted with high-quality, high-performance accumulators. These mainte- nance-free accumulators are entirely enclosed. The system is not designed to need or allow any refilling or topping up the electrolyte (battery acid). The state of charge or capacity of the accumulators can be seen from the control panel.

  • Page 138: Notes On Accumulators

    21.8 Notes on accumulators The enclosed accumulators should never be opened. Opening the accumulators will cause irrepara- ble damage to these components, possibly resulting in a complete loss of energy supply. See Section "23.1 Dealing with closed accumulators" The accumulators should always be recharged using the supplied recharging device after every spell of use (even if use of charge was minimal during the spell).
