12.3. Guidelines for Batteries Maintenance
• Only store the batteries when they are fully charged.
• Their storage temperature must be between -40°C and +50°C.
• In the event of a prolonged immobilisation (over 4 weeks), the
wheelchair batteries must be recharged once a month.
This allows them to hold their full charge and avoids any
deterioration by spontaneous discharge.
