Warning:
Do not remove the battery pack whilst the powerchair is switched (ON). This will cause
the powerchair to stop and may damage the powerchair. If, whilst the powerchair is
switched on, the battery pack is accidentally removed or looses contact as the result of
jolt, switch the powerchair (OFF). Then reinsert the battery pack and switch the
powerchair (ON).
Charging the Batteries
•
Using the charger supplied with the powerchair, the charging duration is about 8 hours.
• However, to ensure optimum performance we recommend a 12-hour charge.
• We also recommend that the batteries are not charged for more than 24 hours.
Replacing the batteries
• The batteries should be replaced when they have capacity of 50% of when they were
performing optimally (i.e. when the powerchair has only half the range of when the batteries
were performing at their best).
•
Replace both batteries together
• Please contact your dealer for information about the procedure for replacing the batteries.
