also provides the following information to the user on the status of the wheelchair:

batteries.

moderately charged. Recharge
batteries before taking a long trip.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 22.8.
The far right side of the display screen is the Battery Gauge Display (BGD). It provides
information on the remaining charge in the batteries.
At full charge, solid blocks fill in all ten
segments between E (Empty) and F (Full).
As the battery becomes discharged, the
segments will progressively disappear a
bar at a time until no segments appear
between E and F. At this level the user
should charge the batteries as soon as
possible.
