3.5 Charging the battery pack
The battery can be charged with the battery pack attached to the e-pilot or when it has
been removed from the e-pilot.
Before charging the battery pack [13], read the information on the charging process
in chapters 3.5.4 to 3.5.6 and then carry out the charging process as described in the
instructions and information in the separate, enclosed operating manual for the charger.
3.5.1 Connecting the charging plug to the battery pack
•
Pull the rubber cover off the charger socket [10].
•
Insert the charging plug [25] into the charger socket [10]. The white marking on the
charging plug (position [A] in the diagram here) should be facing forward.
•
Carry out the charging process.
•
After charging, disconnect the charging plug [25] from the charger socket [10] and
disconnect the mains plug [26] from the mains socket.
•
Replace the rubber cover on the charger socket [10].
3.5.2 Displaying the charge status
The five LEDs on the LED display [45] indicate the charge status of the battery pack once
the charging process begins. Each LED corresponds to about 20% capacity.
If the battery charge is under 19%, the first LED flashes. When the battery is fully
charged, all five LEDs light up.
3.5.3 Fault indication during charging
If a fault occurs during the charging process, the red LED flashes on the charger [23] and
the green LED is out.
Check the following:
•
The mains plug [26] for the charger must be connected properly to a live mains socket
•
The charging plug [25] for the charger must be connected properly to the battery pack
If charging is still not possible and the red LED on the charger is still flashing, there is a
serious fault. End the charging process and contact your specialist dealer without delay.
During the charging process, the e-pilot can be switched on, but
travel is not possible.
If the battery pack is on the e-pilot during charging, switch off the
system before starting the charging process. The e-pilot must also
be secured against inadvertently rolling away by applying the lock-
ing mechanism [6] to the brake lever [7b] and the wheelchair must
be secured by applying the parking brakes.
If the e-pilot is not used for a longer period of time (more than one
day) the battery pack should not remain on the charger the whole time.
In general, check the charge status of the battery pack before using
the device. The battery pack should be fully charged at the start of
your trip.
Always recharge the battery pack fully. Only interrupt the charging
process in an emergency.
