7.10.5. Battery gauge on the LCD screen
The batteries are charged if the battery gauge reads red, yellow and green.
You need to charge the batteries as soon as you can if the battery gauge only indicates red
and yellow.
You must charge the batteries immediately if the battery gauge only indicates a steady or
slowly flashing red.
How does the battery gauge work?
• The battery gauge lets you know what the remaining charge is in the batteries. The best
way for you to use the gauge is to know how it behaves as you drive the wheelchair.
Like the fuel gauge in a car, it is not completely accurate, but it will help you to avoid
running out of «fuel».
• When you turn on the control system, the battery gauge gives an estimate of the
remaining charge. The battery gauge gives a more precise reading about a minute after
you have started driving the Wheelchair.
• The level of charge in your batteries depends on how you use your wheelchair, the
battery temperature and age. These factors affect the distance you can travel in your
chair. All wheelchair batteries will gradually lose their capacity as they age.
• If the measurement of the battery gauge appears to be falling faster than usual, your
batteries may be exhausted. When you change old batteries, replace them with
batteries recommended by Logo Silver. If you use another type, the battery gauge is
likely to be inaccurate.
7.10.6. Public transport
Gelled electrolyte batteries are approved by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and can
be transported safely on-board aircraft, buses and trains. However, Logo Silver recommends
you check the requirements of the carrier in advance. When you want to fly with your chair,
contact the airline to communicate the required information.
7.10.7. Disposal and recycling of batteries
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, contact your dealer for instructions on the
safest way to get rid of it. We advise you to contact your Logo Silver dealer who will have
all the information you need to recycle your batteries.
