CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Your Ewheels Medical power chair is equipped with two, service free 12V.36Ah rechargeable
batteries and one 24V/5A off-board charger. Batteries must be charged before using power
chair for the first time and it is recommended to be charged up to 8 - 14 hours after each
day's use. Be sure power switch is in OFF position and free-wheeling lever is in "D" position.
If charging your power chair for over 8 - 14 hours and it does not function,
please check :
•
fuse is not burned out
•
power chair is turned off
•
circuit breaker is pushed in
•
if none of above is the problem, contact your authorized dealer.
The time needed to recharge will vary depending on depletion of batteries.
Charging for longer than necessary will not harm batteries. They cannot
be overcharged.

Keep in mind these rules
：
•
Fully charge batteries at least once a month, or more if you use power chair regularly.
Charge after each trip exceeding 3 kilometers.
•
If storing your power chair for some time (1 month or more), make sure that batteries
are fully charged, and on returning, charge them again before using power chair.
•
Batteries will only give maximum performance after power chair has been used, and
batteries have been recharged up to 10 times. A bit like breaking in a new car.
For safety, please follow the guidelines below
：
1.DO NOT use the charger if the power cord is damaged.
2.DO NOT use an extension cord when charging your batteries.
A risk of fire and/or electric shock could be encountered.
3.DO NOT take apart the charger, as this will void the warranty.
Please be aware that the travelling range of your power chair is impacted by how fast the batteries are
discharged. This will depend on many circumstances, such as ambient temperature, condition of the
surface of the road, tyre pressure, weight of the driver, driving environment (inclines etc.) and utilisation
of your lighting system if fitted. We recommend that you test your local ride with a family member to
ensure a safe journey.
