When do the batteries need charging?
To get optimum performance from the batteries, they should be regularly char-
ged up. Avoid running down the batteries completely. Recharge the batteries
when the wheelchair is not in use.
A battery voltage indicator on the control panel shows when the batteries are low
(see fig. 12, page 17). The batteries must be recharged as soon as possible.
If the batteries are allowed to run down completely, it is important that you char-
ge them up as soon as possible. Delay in recharging may damage the batteries.
With the Permobil GBC 02 battery charger there is no risk of overcharging the
batteries. Leaving the charger connected after the READY lamp lights is not an
expensive matter. The charger will then be using less than 10 W, a quarter of
what an ordinary light bulb would use. However, we recommend that the char-
ger is not connected for more than two days at a time.
Charging with the GBC 02
1. Plug the mains cable into the mains. Check that the green connection
lamp on the charger lights up.
2. Plug the charger connector cable into the wheelchair charging socket,
which is located under the rubber protector on the right-hand side of the
cover.
NB! When the charger is connected, the chair may not and cannot be
driven.
