Battery Charging Methods - Golden Technologies Alante DX Service Manual

Battery Charging
To charge the wheelchair batteries connect the charger plug into the battery charging socket on the VR2. You
will not be able to drive the wheelchair when the charger is connected.
To connect the charger plug, ensure the single pin is at the bottom, as shown in the illustration below, and then
insert the charger plug into the VR2. The molded guide on the VR2 will help you to locate the plug. Make sure
the plug is pushed fully into position. Now plug the 3-pronged plug into a standard AC wall outlet.
Note: Make sure the AC wall outlet you are using is not controlled by a light switch causing the charger to be
switched off during the charging process.
Battery Charging

1. Remove the battery pack from the power chair.
2. Locate the charger port at the rear side of the battery pack and swing the cover out of the way.
3. Plug the charger into the battery pack socket.
