The range per battery charge using recommended batteries should
be approximately 5 to 9 hours of typical operation. Extensive use on
inclines may substantially reduce per charge mileage.
5.9.1 Description and Use of Battery Chargers
The charger automatically reduces the charge from an initially high
rate to a zero reading at a fully charged condition. If left unattended,
the charger should automatically shut-off when full charge is obtained
or enter a trickle charge mode to maintain the batteries depending
on charger model.
There are some basic concepts which will help you understand this
automatic process. They are:
Once the charger has been connected to the personal transporter
and wall outlet and, if necessary, the charger has been turned on, the
battery charger indicator lights will flash and light to show the battery
charger status and condition of batteries to be charged. Refer to
owner's manual shipped with battery charger.
WARNING!
– NEVER leave the charger unattended when the
breaker has tripped. A fault condition exists. Unplug
and discontinue using immediately. Contact an
Invacare dealer.
If performing the charging procedures, READ and
CAREFULLY follow the individual instructions for each
charger (supplied or purchased).
If charging instructions are not supplied, consult a qualified
service technician for proper procedures.

on the joystick.
2.
Plug the charger's AC power cord, or extension, into the
grounded 120 VAC wall outlet.
3.
Wait until charging is complete.
Allow eight hours for normal charging. Larger batteries
(greater than 55 ampere-hours) or severely discharged
batteries may require up to sixteen hours to be properly
charged and equalized.
It is advantageous to recharge frequently rather than only
when necessary. In fact, a battery's life is extended if the
charge level is maintained well above a low condition.
If the batteries need to be charged more often or take
longer to charge than normal, they may need to be replaced.
Contact an Invacare dealer for service.
