6.5.1 Battery 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 closed rooms. Smoking and fire are not per-
mitted. Sparks must be avoided. Do not cover the air vents
in the trim.
NOTICE
Risk of battery damage. Driving over a longer period of
time with only the red LEDs lit will discharge the battery
completely and damage the battery. There is a risk that
the power wheelchair may stop due to zero battery capac-
ity and bring the user into a dangerous situation.
The remaining battery capacity determines the distance
range of the power wheelchair. The battery capacity is influ-
enced by many factors. In addition to the temperature, age
of the batteries, and amount of use, the charging cycle has
a pronounced effect on the capacity and therefore on the
range.
