· NEVER charge the batteries in a moist room, because the
charger is connected to the main supply. Danger of short-
circuit and to life!
· Protect the battery against heat, moisture, water spray,
and impact!
· Ensure a good ventilation when charging the battery (do
not cover) in order to dissipate the heat generated by
the charger. Danger of fire!
· DO NOT put the charger on the seat of a chair for charging.
· DO NOT smoke and avoid open flame or sparks when
handling cables or electric devices. The charging gases
that can be produced by the charging are always explosive.
· Avoid spark build up through static electricity (for example,
that which is caused by synthetic floor covers).
To charge the battery only use the
-charger
included in the delivery package. The
charger automatically switches itself off as
soon as the battery is fully charged. Thus, it is impossible
to overcharge it.

Care
5.2.1
Charging the Battery
Your scalamobil uses up energy each time you employ it.
If the battery is fully charged, you can climb approximately
300 steps. However, you should never totally discharge your
battery because it may be damaged by it. We, therefore,
recommend to recharge the battery after each time you use
the scalamobil.
In addition, we recommend that the following information
is read and understood prior to use of the battery and its
charger:
· Carefully read the battery and charger information in the
user’s manual prior to installing, servicing, or operating
the wheelchair and the system.
· Drive batteries should only be charged with a battery
charger that is suitable for the type and rating of the
drive batteries. The guarantee is only preserved to its
full extent when the supplied and recommended battery
charger is used.
· The charging of a discharged drive battery is a simple
and safe procedure. Follow the instructions in the user
manual for the chair and the system.
· The batteries discharge during the course of time, even
when they are not loaded. Therefore, always check the
battery charge indicator before the start of a journey.
