6.5.1 Charging

WARNING
Risk of injury due to explosive gases. Explosive gases
can develop while the batteries are charging. The follow-
ing safety instructions must be followed under all circum-
stances: Ensure sufficient ventilation when charging the
batteries in an enclosed room. Smoking and fire are not
permitted. Sparks must be avoided. Do not cover the air
vents in the trim.
NOTICE
Risk of battery damage. Driving with low battery capacity
for an extended period of time will discharge the battery
completely and result in damage. There is a risk that the
power wheelchair may stop due to zero battery capacity
and bring the user into a dangerous situation.
The remaining battery capacity determines the range of the
power wheelchair. The battery capacity is influenced by
many factors. In addition to the temperature, age of the bat-
teries, and amount of use, the charging cycle has a pro-
nounced effect on the capacity and therefore on the range.
