5.1 Charging the Battery
There are two methods which can be used to charge the battery pack on the Mambo Micro:
Method 1: On-board charging
Follow the procedure below step by step:

2. Plug charger’s power cord in to the mains.
3. Connect the charger’s round plug in to the
charging socket located on the underside of
the joystick.
4. Switch on the plug socket.
5. The charger’s LED will illuminate orange to
indicate the batteries are charging. The
charger duration is about 8 hours. To ensure
optimum performance a 12 hours charge is
recommended.
6. The orange LED will turn green when
charging is complete.
7. Turn off the charger, disconnect the power
cord and the round plug from the charging
socket on the joystick.
Method 2: Off-board charging

Suggestion:
1. Do not disconnect the charger cord if charging is not completed. The battery life will
be seriously shortened or decayed if the battery is repeatedly used without being fully
charged. Therefore be sure to charge the battery fully every time.
2. Always complete the charging until the LED light turns green. NEVER stop charging
before it is complete.
3. When fully charged, the battery charger will still trickle charge the battery to ensure
optimum range.
4. If you do not use your powerchair for a long time, it should be charged at least every
week to keep the battery in a fully usable condition.
5. The ambient temperature will affect charging time. Charging time will be longer in
the winter.
6. After charging, do not leave the charger socket plugged in to the powerchair, as this
will cause a power drain on the powerchair and temporarily reduce its range.
7. The batteries carry a twelve-month manufacturer's warranty. This warranty only
covers issues relating to manufacturing faults, and not faults relating to failure to
recharge the batteries as instructed above.
