If batteries are not used, they can completely drain. So if you no longer use your electric
wheelchair, you could leave it connected to the battery charger. Charging is automatically
controlled by the battery charger. If you remove and store the batteries, kindly note the
following:
•
Remove the cable clamps from the poles of the battery.
•
The positive pole must at least be covered by a pole cap.
•
Only grasp the batteries by two opposite sides of the unit.
•
Make sure that no objects can make contact with both poles during the time of storage
(danger of short circuits!).
•
Batteries should only be stored in dry, well-ventilated spaces at a temperature between
0° C and +40° C. Preferred storage temperature: +20° C ).
•
Keep the batteries in the battery boxes for protection against moisture or other external
influences.
•
Protect the plugs and sockets of the battery boxes against corrosion.
•
Protect the batteries against deep discharging (see the chapter on battery charging).
If you have further questions, consult your specialist dealer who will gladly help you in regard
to storage and servicing of your batteries.
