The remaining battery capacity does not translate directly to remaining physical range of the power chair.
The remaining physical range depends on the ambient temperature, the capacity, age and state of the
battery, the driving style of the operator and the terrain that the power chair is being used in.

Recharge.
5.1.3. Complete charge:
A complete charge is long (from 10 to 12 hours), but efficient.
An incomplete charge will also reduce the durability of your batteries by one charging cycle.
The battery will not have enough time to store the energy correctly.
It will not be able to reconstitute the missing energy. The autonomy will be reduced.
A series of incomplete charges will have an even more disastrous effect: with the different batteries
charged incompletely and to different levels.
They will be out of balance and the entire set will have its life time reduced.
Conclusion:
To maintain maximum autonomy and optimise the durability of your batteries, every charging cycle
started should be completed.
Repeated short or incomplete charging cycles gradually reduce your batteries
’ capacity.
5.2 : Charger
Use only the charger provided with the wheelchair. It is designed for the batteries of your vehicle.
This charger adjusts to all voltages between 110 and 240 Volts.
It initiates a programmed charge phase and disconnects automatically at the end of the cycle to prevent
damage to the batteries.
The charger should to be placed on a flat surface and protected from humidity.
For your own safety it is imperative that you read and observe the following intructions before using the
charger.
1) Before charging the batteries, switch off the wheelchair.
2) Connect the charging cable to the wheelchair, than connect the charger to the power socket.
3) Once the charge is completed, first unplug from the power socket, than disconnect the charging cable
from the wheelchair.
