  • Page 17: Batteries And Charging

    Charging the Batteries The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your Go-Chair batteries. It is designed to optimise your travel chair’s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly, and easily.
  • Page 18 6. Reinstall the battery box to the power base. To charge the batteries using the XLR off-board charger port: 1. Position the front of your Go-Chair next to a standard electri- cal outlet. 2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the freewheel levers are in the engaged position.
  • Page 19 3. Give the batteries another full charge of at least 8 to 14 hours and operate your Go-Chair again. The batteries will now perform at over 90% of their potential.

Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries encounter temperature extremes that may influence initial performance.
  • Page 21 What about shipping? If you wish to use a freight company to ship your Go-Chair to your final destination, repack your Go-Chair in the original shipping container and ship the batteries in separate boxes.
