8.6 Long-term storage
In case your mobility device is not used for a longer period of time,
you need to prepare it for storage to ensure a longer life for your
mobility device and batteries.
Storing mobility device and batteries
•
We recommend to store the mobility device at a temperature
of 15° C, avoid hot and cold extremes when storing to ensure a
long service life of the product and batteries.
•
The components are tested and approved for greater
temperature ranges as detailed below:
– Allowable temperature range to store the mobility device is
-40° up to 65° C.
– Allowable temperature range to store batteries is -25° up
to 65° C.
•
Even not being used, batteries discharge themselves. Best
practice is to disconnect the battery supply from the power
module if storing the mobility device longer than two weeks.
Depending on the mobility device model, you can either remove
the battery packs or disconnect the batteries from the power
module. Refer to the corresponding chapter about disconnecting
the batteries. If in doubt which cable to disconnect, contact
your dealer.
•
Batteries should always be fully charged before storing.
•
If storing the mobility device longer than four weeks, check the
batteries once a month and recharge as needed (before gauge
reads half full) to avoid damage.
•
Store in a dry, well-ventilated environment protected from
outer influences.
•
Slightly overinflate pneumatic tires.
•
Position the mobility device on flooring that is not discolored by
contact with tire rubber.
Preparing mobility device for use
•
Re-connect the battery supply to the power module.
•
The batteries must be charged before use.
