3.2 Batteries
For maintenance see the following documentation:
• Regulations on the batteries.
• Owner's manual of the battery charger.
Dry batteries:
The wheelchair has 'dry' gel batteries. These dry batteries (dry-fit) are entirely sealed and maintenance free.
Wet batteries:
• Regularly check the liquid level by removing the caps on the batteries:
once every two weeks in summer;
once a month in winter.
• The level of the liquid should be between 5 and 10 mm above the plates in every cell.
If the level has dropped too far, the liquid will have to be replenished after charging.
• To replenish, only use distilled water.
• When recharging, gases are given off. Therefore, only recharge the batteries in a well-
aired space.
• Do not touch the battery acid: it will burn the skin.
If any battery acid is spilled onto the skin, rinse it immediately with plenty of water.
• Make sure not to spill any battery acid onto the clothing: it will burn through clothing..
A sticker shows the connection diagram of the batteries. This sticker is placed on the inside of the lid of the battery
box.
• See to it that the batteries are always well charged.
• Do not use the wheelchair if the batteries are almost depleted. This is bad for the
batteries and you have a risk of coming to an unintended standstill.
• Since wet batteries require more maintenance, it is recommended not to use this type.
• If the batteries need to be replaced, it is preferred to place dry batteries in the battery
