VIII. BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGING
35
Your wheelchair has a lot of power. Keeping wheelchair working to its maximum potential
means that its battery must be maintained at full potential. Nightly recharging, after use, will
help giving the battery a longer life and will ensure your wheelchair is always ready to go
when you are.
Your wheelchair is shipped with a lithium battery, designed specifically for the wheelchair.
Follow the steps outlined below:
BATTERY PACK
Position battery pack into the wheelchair battery compartment under the seat as outlined
in the Quick Start Guide.
Switch on your wheelchair. The battery gauge will now move to show the state of charge
in the battery. If the needle of your battery gauge is in the green zone, your wheelchair is
ready to drive.
DO NOT attempt to open the covering of the battery. Failure to observe this
warning will invalidate your battery warranty.
For air travel, please consult your carrier prior to departure. They will need advance warning
that you wish for them to carry the lithium battery. Please note that each carrier reserves the
right not to carry what may be termed Hazardous cargo. FreeRider cannot be held responsible
for their final decision.
The battery charger is designed especially for your wheelchair. It is not suitable for any other
powered mobility product. Only use the chargers shipped with your wheelchair. The use of
other chargers may permanently damage your battery and would invalidate the warranty.
BATTERY CHARGER
Warning!
Note: For travel boarding, according to IATA regulations, a maximum of one spare battery
not exceeding 300 Wh or two spares each non exceeded 160 Wh may be carried; relevant
battery capacity information see the back of the battery.
