Charger - Otto Bock Skippi plus Instructions For Use Manual

„ For daily use, connecting the charger overnight is rec-
ommended so that the full capacity is available every
day.
„ The batteries will gradually discharge if the wheelchair
is not used for extended periods of time. If the power
wheelchair is not driven for extended periods of time, a
charging cycle must be carried out at least once per
week in order to maintain the battery capacity. Remov-
ing the fuse if the wheelchair is not used for extended
periods of time is recommended.
„ The batteries should never be fully discharged (deep
discharge).
„ The power wheelchair control unit must be switched off
while the batteries are charging to allow all of the
charging current to be fed into the battery.
The following must be observed when charging the batter-
ies:
„ Only the battery charger provided by Ottobock may be
used for charging. Failure to comply will void the war-
ranty.
„ The voltage settings on the battery charger must cor-
respond to the mains voltage used in your country.

6.5.2 Charger

WARNING
Explosion hazard due to sparks. The battery charger
must always be switched off and the mains plug removed
before disconnecting the battery.
NOTICE
Unauthorised battery replacement. Batteries may only
be replaced by a specialist dealer. The characteristic
charging curve programmed in the charger at the factory
matches the
supplied battery and may not be changed independently.
Setting the characteristic curve incorrectly can result in
permanent damage to the battery.
The battery charger is designed for gel batteries (mainte-
nance-free batteries). The charger is programmed with the
matching characteristic curve for ideal charging of the re-
spective battery type. The matching characteristic curve is
set at the factory when the power wheelchair is shipped.
The characteristic curve has to be checked if the battery
charger is to be used with another power wheelchair or if
new batteries are installed.
