Charging Batteries

 

WARNING

NEVER attempt to recharge the batteries by attaching cables directly to the 

battery terminals. 
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and operate the wheelchair at the same 

time.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair has been exposed 

to any type of moisture.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair is outside.
DO NOT sit in the wheelchair while recharging the batteries.

CAUTION

New batteries MUST be fully charged prior to initial use of the wheelchair.
ALWAYS charge new batteries before initial use or battery life will be reduced. 
As a general rule, you should recharge your batteries as frequently as possible to 

assure the longest possible life and to minimize required charging time. Plan to 

recharge them when you DO NOT anticipate using the wheelchair.
